First of all, make sure you run the same version of tinc on all
machines. 1.0pre8 is incompatible with older versions.

Yes. Please verify that tinc really compiled with the kernel headers and
that /dev/net/tun really is a tun/tap device (character device major 10 minor 200).
If it still doesn't work you could try doing this:

strace -s 128 -o /tmp/tinctrace tincd ... -d5 -D

And mail us /tmp/tinctrace.
