Should be called "mt", /bin/mt on Debian at least. You may need to install
a package called "mt-st", which on Debian you'd use `apt-get install
mt-st`, which will install a bunch of things (among them being /bin/mt)

The distinction between "bin" and "sbin" is that sbin is typically
reserved for binaries which require root. The distinction between
"/bin" or "/sbin", and "/usr/bin" or "/usr/sbin" is that the former are
considered to be boot critical, the latter are not. "/usr/local/bin",
"/usr/local/sbin" are usually non-package managed or "locally" installed
binaries. 

Hope this helps :)
