Quoting plattsm <plattsm@safe2say.com>:
"""
It seems that the permissions are being set on the wrong file in     
usbfs.                                                                         
                                                                                
If I change the file /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner at line 19 and 20 (that sets
the DEV var) to the following it works perfectly for me.                       
                                                                                
DEV=$(cat /sys/$DEVPATH/devnum)                                                 
"""
Since this refers to /sys I guess this is no option for 2.4 kernels. Since I can't test this I'd be happy to get some suggestions.
