This is usually a cabling issue (easy to check) or a permissions issue
(more likely).  The user you are running as needs to have rw
permission to the device node created for the USRP.  This is done
automatically when installing from binary packages on Ubuntu, or there
are instructions on the wiki for your particular operating system if
your are doing a source compile.  The alternative is to run as root,
though that is not recommended for many reasons.
