Apologies if you've been down this road already, but lsusb won't be  
able to see the report descriptors unless you have detached the  
kernel's usbhid driver from the interface(s). This is done  
automatically in usb_force_open(), and only stays in effect until you  
unplug the device. There is also a libhid-detach-device program in  
libhid*/src/ that will do just that.
