I followed your advices and these are my results:

created the right block devices into /dev/pktcdvd:

# ls -l /dev/pktcdvd
totale 0
crw-r--r--  1 root root  10, 61 18 feb 19:38 control
brw-r--r--  1 root root 254,  0 18 feb 19:29 pktcdvd0
brw-r--r--  1 root root  97,  0 18 feb 19:29 pktcdvd1

I created pktcdvd0 and pktcdvd1 rispectively with major 254 and 97 just 
to make some tests.

# pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0 /dev/hdb
ioctl: No such device

# pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd1 /dev/hdb
open packet device: No such device or address

If I run pktsetup without the full path to the block device, it creates 
a setgid file in the same directory where it is launched:

# pktsetup pktcdvd /dev/hdb
ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device
# ls -l
---x--sr-x  1 root root     0 18 feb 19:27 pktcdvd

I use pktsetup from the latest CVS of udftools so I think to be up to date.

PS: I use an SMP enabled kernel, I hope pktcdvd is smp safe:)

Any advice?
