For a quick fix.....  you can TRY this:

Download this version of cx2341x.h:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=file;file=linux/include/media/cx2341x.h;filenode=63b993e56482f7d13f18cd7a087866b188860048;style=raw

and stick it into either your pvrusb2 build directory, or your linux 
kernel source, in linux/include/media

Let us know if this does it for you...  Since the 2.6.17 kernel hasn't 
yet been officially released, we cannot expect the pvrusb2 svn tree to 
work with it yet.  Development kernels are considered to be "moving 
targets" -- we cannot always ensure compatability until they are 
officially released.

HTH,
