If it's the 90002/909 version of the Nova-T (the new one) it should be
using the cx88_dvb driver I think (at least mine is) The backend
process needs access to it, so if running it as root, it should be OK.
What is the content of your modprobe.conf file and your messages
output when the DVB driver is modprobed?

This is more likely the source of the problem. Check that the path to
your ringbuffer file is correct above, and that the file and directory
is accessible and writeable by root.
