And you've taken ownership and set the owner auth to "TPM-password"?  What do you get if you run tpmnv_getcap?

When running trousers in the foreground with debug options enabled I receive the following output:

TCSD TDDL ioctl: (25) Inappropriate ioctl for device
TCSD TDDL Falling back to Read/Write device support.
TCSD trousers 0.3.1: TCSD up and running
