Yes, I have those as well but only because I also have them in 
/etc/udev/devices and they get copied over at boot time.  Maybe you have 
"/sbin/modprobe nvidia" in rc.local?  I recall seeing that as another 
way of making sure that the nvidia module gets loaded (and presumably 
the nvidia device drivers created in /dev).  Otherwise, I'm not certain 
why there's a difference between our respective systems.
