I'm not sure they actually work that much either (random opensuse 12.3 machine).
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 3 15:31 /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-3201034d7b4000007

/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-3201034d7b4000007-nst -> ../../nst1
That is what shows up on my machine with 4 tape drives /dev/st0->st4. Its
because there are 4 devices with the same I_T and different luns. The /dev/st*
and /dev/nst* are correct.
