vzctl allows you to provide per-VE permissions for necessary devices.

From `man vzctl`:
Device access management

--devnodes device:r|w|rw|none
Give the VE an access (r - read, w - write, rw - read
write, none - no access) to a device designated by the
special file /dev/device. Device file is created in VE
by vzctl.

--devices b|c:major:minor|all:[r|w|rw|none]
Give the VE an access to a block or character device
designated by its major and minor numbers. Device file
have to be created manually.

Hope this helps.

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
