Doh!!! That was the problem. I did the initial configuration assuming that the changer would be sg0 and set the permissions to be root:tape chmod 660
I banged my head against a wall for a while until I figured out that the autoloader was not sg0 (Still not sure what devices are taking sg0 & sg1 on the system). Then I changed the configuration to use sg3, but forgot to change the permissions which were still root:root 600. Thank you very much Thomas!
