libhidups should do it for you. Else:
chown root:nobody /proc/bus/usb/001/001
chmod 0660 /proc/bus/usb/001/001

ok, this validate that it's a problem with the hotplug libhidups rules.
thanks to send back the output of "ls -l /etc/hotplug/usb/"
to check what is wrong. You can also try to unplug / replug the
USB cord to see if libhidups is called (SuSE hotplug seems not
to log that, but you'll will see the change with "ls")
