I suspect the sensitivity is such that the pen is actually moving when you click so the driver doesn't register as a click.
On my graphire 3 in windows there is a setting to change this behaviour but inkscape seems to ignore it as I think it reads the tablet directly it self when in any mode other than disabled.
Try holding the pen perpendicular to the tablet and see if you can click.
(This is the one reason I stopped using my tablet with inkscape except when using the calligraphy pen. )
Holding it very steady (thus limiting the moving) does not change anything. On the other side, if an object is already selected, and I click on it (again with the mouse), I have no problem moving it. Using the tablet, it usually gets deselected right after pressing on it. only a very slight touch sometimes does the trick, or sometimes double (or triple) clicking on it...
