It looks like you are using a BSD-like system, based on the /dev/ugen0 name. Which OS is it?

I thought we had added better error reporting for permissions errors, but that is the most likely cause of this problem. (Knowing the OS will help us figure out the right solution.) You also don't need the "-x explore" switch since the MGE (now Eaton) models should be completely supported.
