No permission for /zap/channel?

hey there ,
i am on about my third install and run attempt with debian sarge
i am using a tdm01b with one red module.
zaptel drivers seem fine but when i start asterisk i get this from /var/log/asterisk/messages

i changed the ownership to chown asterisk /dev/zap/channel
but still no go, even when i try to run as root

i am sure the chanel is set up right.
i get this from [code]
ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Configuration

Channel map:

Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)

1 channels configured.
[/code]

anyone have any idea what i may be missing here ???

i’ve seen this before. it’s the device daemon (?) permissions for /dev/zap and company. sorry i don’t remember how to fix it, but if you google for this, you should see the solution.
