I don't think your /dev/video device is the proper type. Mine works (or at
least it did 4 months ago when I last messed with it)

$ ls -la /dev/video
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           11 Jan 14  2000 /dev/video ->
/dev/video0

$ ls -la /dev/video0
crw-------   1 jkinney  root      81,   0 Jan 14  2000 /dev/video0
