The b is for block device, not busy. Changing permissions on /dev/hdd
will not have any thing to do with accessing the mount point they are
mounted on. It does have an affect on accessing the raw device.
IE - if you do not have write permission on /dev/st0, you can not write
to that SCSI tape drive.
Normaly permissions on a mounted file system are controlled by the
options of the mount command. I don't use supermount, so someone else
will have to help with this, but at least you can stop trying to modify
the /dev entry...
