OK, thank you all! It was a simple permission problem, now everything runs just fine. For the record: Everything I did was adding perm ugen* 0660 own ugen* root:uucp perm usb* 0660 own usb* root:uucp to /etc/devfs.conf The default user für nut is uucp on FreeBSD, so no need to add another user. Beware of the security implications with these rules!
