hi there,

have u tried to use mtx itself from shell?
and see what results will give simple
mtx -f /dev/sg0 status
or whatever your autochanger device node is

i dont know debian but i guess
/dev/nst0 is tape drive itself not autochanger device so to move; load;
unload tapes u have to use for example sg0 (if it works)
like for example
mtx -f /dev/sg0 load 3 /dev/nst0 0
should load tape from slot 3 to tape drive

of course u can load tape from bconsole as well

permissions are one thing and next thing is if mtx-changer is doing a
job and u have proper device in SD conf

good luck
