The permissions looks OK. I belong to groups cdrom and usb. I can mount
and umount the cdom, and my USB key. But I can't access at my
daughter's mtp mp3 drive :

nico [ ~ ]$ mtp-detect
libmtp version: 0.2.6.1

Attempting to connect device(s)
usb_claim_interface(): Operation not permitted
LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to initialize device 1
LIBMTP PANIC: configure_usb_devices() error code: 7 on line 1599

But root can :

root [ ~ ]# mtp-detect
libmtp version: 0.2.6.1

Attempting to connect device(s)

OK.

This is driving me a little crazy. I know I used to access this device on
my previous installation... which is now on a burned down HD :-( 

Another similar problem : using KDE, I used to get a window asking me
what to do when I plugged a removable device, like a USB key. I don't
have it anymore. I configured HAL and Dbus, and recompiled kdebase to use
it... with no effect.

Can someone help me with those permissions issues ? I'm getting a bit
nuts on this !
