This reads to me as if you don't have your slave configured correctly.
 On the slave you should configure the PVR350 as a capture device, and
assign it a video source (you don't need to create a new video source,
the one you created on the master should be present as a choice on the
slave).

This should be sufficient for both cards to be used simultaneously...
