Hi Chris

Any chance you could share the FreeBSD port? Using the version (2.6.1) 
currently available in the ports tree, I can get a step closer than your tests 
above, but without the enhanced blazer_usb driver (0.0.4) in nut 2.6.3, I 
don't think I can get any further.

I got a little further than the above by ensuring that the default 'uucp' user 
configured in the FreeBSD port had RW access to the appropriate usb node, as 
per the advice above (thanks for linking it, Arnaud).
