Maybe, mabe not. Depends on the user/group of the devices and the user/group Amanda runs as. Also, while sg is the proper device to use to control the changer, it doesn't understand tape commands like rewind, so make sure your tape device is referencing an st device (of course, your kernel also needs scsi tape support compiled in or the module loaded or you won't have any st devices).
