Were you using USB or Bluetooth.  Just checking so I know what to try or not.

I tried compiling BRLTTY from source yesterday, to see if it'd work better with 
the Humanware NLS EReader, and when running ./run_brltty as my regular user, it 
would connect, but couldn't access screen and such. Running with sudo, it 
apparently could access everything but didn't connect to the device.

That's wrong, so let's start by assuming that it's the cause of the problem. 
brltty.prefs should be being saved directly in /var/lib/brltty/. The first 
thing I'd try is removing the bogus subdirectory, i.e.:

   cd /var/lib/brltty
   rm -r .config

This'd be best done with brltty not running.
