I wonder if permission is an issue - I'm not sure if the SDR stick comes
under special hardware group  access or access to "audio" hardware
group

Do you run LMS as a service or as a logged in user ?
If LMS is run as a service what is the userid which is used ?  typically
it is something like squeezeboxserver

I'm not sure what device rtl_fm uses to access the SDR stick.

The possible device are /dev/dvb/adaptor0 or /dev/swradio0

Try listing these devices
ls -Rl /dev/dev/dvb/adaptor0
ls -l/dev/swradio0

The ownership could be something like  root, plugdev  - in which case
add LMS user (e.g. squeezeboxserver) to the "plugdev" (or what is on
yoru system) group 

If that doesn't work try changing device permissions but this may need
to be done everytime stick is plugged in.  

I think these devices have no RW "other" permission.  
You try to add RW to these devices e.g.

sudo chmod -R o+rw /dev/swradio0
sudo chmod -R o+rw /dev/dvb/adaptor0
