The problem is perhaps in the quotation you use: The shell is probably "eating" your escape chars away and sed doesn't see what you expect it to see.
I made it a habit to use always single quotes for sed-statements to avoid this. It is even possible to use single quotes when using a variable inside an sed-statement:
sed 's/'"$src"'/'"$tgt"'/g'
will change ocurrences of $src to the value of $tgt
I hope this helps.

tgt-setup-lun
tgt-setup-lun(8) System Manager's Manual tgt-setup-lun(8)
NAME
tgt-setup-lun - creates a target, adds a device to the target and defines initiators that can connect to the target
SYNOPSIS
tgt-setup-lun -d device -n target_name [initiator_IP1 initiator_IP2 ...] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
Starts tgtd if necessary and creates a target according to the supplied target_name. The format of the target name is as follows:
iqn.2001-04.com.<hostname>-<target_name> The target name must be unique.
The script then adds the requested device to the target. If specific IP addresses are defined, it adds them to the list of allowed initia-
tors for that target. If no IP addresses is defined, it defines that the target accepts any initiator.
EXAMPLES
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81 and 192.168.10.82:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81 192.168.10.82
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections from any initiator:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target
Display help:
tgt-setup-lun -h
