Great tip, thank you! The permission denied error is gone indeed.
Unfortunately it seems the drive cannot do anythin with the raw uhid
devices, it complains about missing X & Y directions.

The privilege separation code in xenocara has a compiled in list of
devices that are permitted to be opened; of the uhid devices it only
currently includes /dev/uhid0 through /dev/uhid3.  You can either
a) update the list and recompile the X server
b) symlink it to a different name that's already in the allowed list
but that's not used by OpenBSD (e.g., "/dev/ttyJ0")
c) ???

Forgot to mention: I had changed the file permissions on uhid6 to be
worl readable and writable.
