I haven't read this whole thread, but I'm wondering if it is a timing issue with starting of the backend versus a permissions issue. With the Ceton cards, if the backend starts before the cards are completely active, we get the exact same thing: tuners are in use. I found this out and made some thread comments several months back, so maybe this will help you.
Best of luck!
