I had to make a bunch of directories & move all the .conf files cuz the

IMO.  Bug?

The above line still fails, but a different failure, a snip from the end of 
its output when the above line is executed from the drivers src dir:

And indeed, ttyUSB0 is owned by heyu on this box. ;-)  Or is it referring to 
the hiddev0 and hidraw0, which only exists after the data cable is freshly 
plugged in.  A more verbose description of 'USB device' would help to define 
what the error really is. ;)

This error is identical regardless of the user launching it, root included.

Thanks Arjen.
