I think Servaas' later reply explains this, but here's an easy thing to 
verify that it is the case:

1. Run "sudo -s" first.  This will give you a root shell over the top of 
your existing shell.  Now within that shell...

2. Do your control operations (e.g. "echo composite 
>/sys/class/pvrusb2/*/ctl_input/cur_val").

If that works then you were getting had by that file redirection 
problem.  You can get back to your original shell by typing "exit".
