I had all the tv-related modules rmmoded overnight, and today when I 
modprobed bttv, all the nodes got created properly.  Very strange... I guess 
there's some kind of timeout in the code somewhere?

I'll try these tests next time though; since problems with my tv-tuner 
card(s) are never-ending, I'm sure I'll get the chance to.
