I'm running 5.2.13 under Fedora 20; this is working fine for me.

Make sure to set "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" in the storage definition,
too!

Looks OK to me.

Try adding
Changer Device = /dev/changer-sg2
to both your Device definitions.
In your bacula-dir.conf, you should have something like this:
# Definition of LTO autoloader
Storage {
Name = LTOLIB
Address = ...
SDPort = 9103
Password = ...
Device = Qualstar
Media Type = LTO6
Autochanger = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 6
}
