Just in case, I forgot to say that all the /dev/disk* are owned by the user (me). It is NOT an access problem related to the /dev/disk* device permissions.

Thanks for the logs, they show that claiming the disk device fails with an access denied error but because it seems to work when the host I/O cache gets enabled (disabling he failing code) that must be related to something else.
