Make sure /dev/st* and /dev/nst* exist (well if you are using udev or
devfs then hopefully loading the st module creates something in /dev you
can use).

You can also check in /proc/scsi/scsi (using cat) if it has even found
the tape device on the scsi bus.

Maybe output of dmesg after loading the scsi driver and the st module
would be helpful.
