It must be finding the wrong device.
If you run
   evtest /dev/input/eventX
for various values of 'X' you will get info about that event device.
The touchscreen looks like

--------------------------------------
# evtest /dev/input/event0
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x18 vendor 0x0 product 0x0 version 0x0
Input device name: "TSC2007 Touchscreen"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (Sync)
  Event type 1 (Key)
    Event code 330 (Touch)
  Event type 3 (Absolute)
    Event code 0 (X)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max     4095
    Event code 1 (Y)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max     4095
    Event code 24 (Pressure)
      Value      0
      Min        0
      Max     4095
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
-------------------------------------------
You then need to interrupt to exit...  touching the touchscreen at this point
will show you the raw events that are generated.

Once you identify it - /dev/input/event0 in this case,

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=...the-one-that-you-found...

then then run ts_calibrate.
