After doing chmod 666 /dev/null the error message is not displayed 
anymore. You were right, thank you.

Argh, I now understand what I did wrong: I created a file with dd, 
connected it with a loopback device using losetup, mounted it and 
populated the filesystem copying the necessary parts of my existing 
installation into it. However, I missed the preserve option when doing 
cp! Therefore the permissions e.g. for /dev/null where wrong. I should 
have done cp -p ...
Sorry for bothering you with such a stupid mistake.
