It's cause the driver of your camera does not create a link in sysfs to
the physical device behind the videodevice. This is needed for modern
hardware integration or udev's BUS= matches. 

How does "ls -l /sys/class/video4linux/video0" look like?

What's the name of the module? Is it in the stock kernel?
