Many thanks for your response.

Not sure what went wrong, now it magically works, I still have the non-working 
and the working situation on the same screen:

rd at b370:~$ adb shell
error: insufficient permissions for device: verify udev rules.
See [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] for more information.
rd at b370:~$ groups
rd adm dialout fax cdrom floppy sudo dip video plugdev users lpadmin scanner

rd at b370:~$ 

The system did a suspend/resume cycle in between, but I can hardly imagine 
that this made the difference...
