Just realized something. For nodes created in /etc/udev/links.udev, the udev.permissions are completely ignored because those nodes aren't created by udev (udev only creates node exported through sysfs, and the nvidia stuff hasn't been ported to sysfs yet). For me, using the upstream packages, I put the permissions for the nodes I create in /etc/init.d/udev file, but you might want to check with the Debian maintainer to see if there is a Debian way to do it (there might be some stuff in the doc directory). -- John L.
