It sounds like its not using /dev/video16.
This is usually for one of 2 reasons.

1) You don't have permission to write to it
2) It wasn't created and is now a file rather than a device.
Check that it is a device 

ls -l /dev/video*

I suspect it wont be so create the device is probably easiest

mknod /dev/video16 c 81 16

Then chmod it to give everyone read & write access.
