This sounds similar to what I just experienced - I performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10, installed Kodi and received the same CEC initialisation error as yourself.
Ran cec-client and it was spewing up permission denied errors - checked which user and group the device belonged to and found that is uses the dialout group. Added myself to that group, logged out and in again and XBMC picked up the CEC adapter straight away! Worth a check anyway.
