It looks like somehow its not taking your --init string... You should 
see something like this if it took your AT command

Send AT
Send AT
Send AT S7=45 S0=0 L0 V1 X4 &c1 E0 Q0 #CID=1 S41=1

Try not giving it an init string since that one above is the default and 
works with my serial usr sportster serial modem. Something like this 
should work on ttyS0 since the rest of that is defaults in cidbcast.c

./cidbcast --verbose --file cidbcast.xml

Also double check your /etc/group file. Do you have any groups in there 
you think you should be added to? If your rebooting and you have udev 
without making udev rules to handle this it will revert your premissions 
on your device every time. But I'm thinking your problem is probably 
with that third "Send AT" message from verbose not showing any init string.
