I dimly remember a discussion regarding permissions and USB devices. I
have had problems writing to USB mass storage devices (external hard
drives). Last night there was a similar question, but I was deeply
engaged in my own efforts to get ndiswrapper and the broadcom windows
driver to cooperate (Success!). So, I thought this may have some
relevance if your system does this udev thing. fgd.

I always have to re-do my permissions.rules file after an upgrade.
Check that your mods are still present. Aside from that possibility, I
have no idea.
