I got some similar problem and I'm using dvb-s :

./dvbtune -f 11283000 -p V -s 27500
FD 7: fd_dvr DEMUX DEVICE: : No such file or directory

I had to make a little change in the Makefile : 
INCS=-I /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/drivers/media/video/margi -I /usr/include/libxml2

then make :

make
gcc -Wall -I /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/drivers/media/video/margi -I /usr/include/libxml2  
-c -o tune.o tune.c
gcc -Wall -I /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/drivers/media/video/margi -I /usr/include/libxml2   
dvbtune.c tune.o   -o dvbtune
dvbtune.c: In function `xmlify':
dvbtune.c:116: warning: implicit declaration of function `strcpy'
dvbtune.c: In function `set_dpid':
dvbtune.c:342: warning: implicit declaration of function `memset'
dvbtune.c: In function `main':
dvbtune.c:1005: warning: implicit declaration of function `strcmp'

I don't know if this is normal, but the dvbtune got compiled anyway. Then,
when I try to tune, it just won't work.

./dvbtune -f 11283000 -p V -s 27500
FD 7: fd_dvr DEMUX DEVICE: : No such file or directory

And for my case, I did do "makedev.napi". So the problem
can't be there.

I can use the ntuxplayer application, that works. And the szap application
works fine also. I wish I could use the szap for entering directly into the
command line the frequency, symb rate, and everything else just like dvbtune
does, with all these options, without having to use the "~/.szap/channels.conf"
file.
