What option did you select in vglserver_config? What was the full output of vglserver_config? Which version of the nVidia drivers do you have installed?
vglserver_config installs a file under /etc/modprobe.d that is supposed to set the permissions on /dev/nvidia*. If you haven't restarted the machine after running vglserver_config, that is the first thing I would try, although technically it shouldn't be necessary. People have been running VGL successfully on CentOS/Red Hat 6.x for quite a while, and this is the first I've heard of any issue like this.
