Hello,
I think it's quite clear that something rather weird is going on, if cat opens the device file but dd refuses to, in particular with that error message. Please go on experimenting in that direction. For example, how about redirecting to the device file. Say, date > \\\\.\\xillybus_whatever ?
I would suggest thinking about this as a quirk not related to Xillybus directly. I believe that random experimentation of anything that comes to mind with these device files is the quickest way to find out.
Regards,
Eli
