Hi! The issue is resolved. For anyone who may be interested in the details, 
it's as follows:

The problem was that the kernel did not recognize character device major 
version 216. It had no drivers for this type of device. I had to configure 
RFCOMM protocol support and RFCOMM TTY support under Bluetooth support in 
the kernel and recompile it. This step added a driver to the kernel and a 
cat of /proc/devices listed "216 rfcomm" as a recognized device.

Not being able to recognize this type of device was also causing ioctl() 
function calls which referred to it to fail. After the drivers were loaded, 
the ioctl() calls worked properly (which were previously giving errors).

Fahad.
