Run "modprobe loop" then try it again. While the devices may physically
exist in /dev, it may be the case that there is no kernel support for
them and running modprobe will trigger the kernel to load the device
support for it.

Afterwards, running "dmesg" should show something along the lines of:

loop: registered device at major 7
