The interesting parts starts here in this case. gnokiid wants to start
mgnokiidev binary, but your strace output was cut at the start of the
link initalisation phase. Without the strace output I have only two
ideas: is mgnokiidev located in /mnt/card/usr/sbin/ and is unix domain
socket compiled into the kernel?

Only mgnokiidev needs to be setuid root.
