If you fixed the problem by manually changing the permissions on the BPF
devices, that doesn't persist after a reboot (because /dev isn't on
disk, it's in an in-memory "device file system" which gets destroyed on
shutdown and rebuilt after a boot). See my other mail with the ChmodBPF
startup item for a way to arrange to have the permissions changed every
time you boot.
