Ownership of those devices are set up automatically when you log in to X 
(assuming you're using graphical login). Try loggin out and in again, 
hitting Ctrl-Alt-Backspace once at the login prompt to restart the X 
server. Make sure you're not logged in at any console as well. If that 
doesn't fix it, try a reboot (I know, but it's easier than hunting down 
and killing stray processes of other users etc etc).

If you're using text login - booting to init 3 - you'll need to chmod 
/dev/nvidia* 666.
