OK, so this is only in the current CVS version.

To be sure you can check your syslog files to see which id is assigned
to which device from the sg driver

Ups, i think this should look like
[root@skywalker /root]# amtape-2.4.2p2 exabyte reset
amtape: changer is reset, slot 1 is loaded.

chg-scsi does all the error handling and talk with SCSI commands with the
devices. It does not need special modules in the kernel which does the error
handling etc. In chg-scsi you can very easy define new driver for
tape libs if they use non standard ways for moving or error handling.
