I haven't done much work with usbmon - is it showing the size of the  
transaction as requested by the application, or what goes out over the  
wire?

Along those lines, what kernel version are you using? Are you using  
libusb-0.1.x, or the 0.1 compatibility layer from libusb-1.0?

Several years ago on the linux-usb list, it was often pointed out that  
the kernel was supposed to honor the wMaxPacketSize field, and  
fragment the requests accordingly. While this was suggested for  
performance reasons (fewer round trips between user and kernel space),  
it should still hold true for less frequent transfers.
