So, what are you trying to do?  You access the drive through the 'st'
devices, not the generic 'sg' devices.  For example:

  bru -cvvvf /dev/st0 /usr/local

or

  tar -cvzf /dev/nst0 /opt

That's all you need to do to perform backups.

If you're trying to run SCSI commands directly to the drive, read the
SCSI-Programming HOWTO (/usr/doc/HOWTO/....).
