Yes it does: the "uk" device means "unknown". :-)

As brett pointed out, it didn't even recognize the tape part (bt0:6:0)
as an "st" scsi tape, let alone the "ch" changer.  Build your kernel
with support for these, then use the "chio" command to shuffle tapes. 

Man, I sure wish I picked up a few more of these little guys when I
found them for <$200 each! They're pretty cool.
