looks like you are not allowed to access the USB bus.

mentioned in the Troubleshooting section on the fprint site: 
http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Installation#Troubleshooting
taken from the FAQ there:

                Q: Running pam_fprint_enroll and fprint_demo from user fails 
with message like following:
                
                aes1610:error [dev_init] could not claim interface 0
                
                A: You have no permissions to access /proc/bus/usb
                (/dev/bus/usb). Solution depends on distro. On Gentoo
                you should add your user to usb group. Same solution
                should be applicable for other distros. Invoke mount |
                grep usb, it should produce something like:
                
                [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mount | grep usb
                usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs 
(rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
                
                So, /proc/bus/usb belongs to group with gid 85. Now
                let's get group name:
                
                [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/group | grep 85 | cut -f 1 -d:
                usb
                
                Add your user to this group:
                
                sudo usermod -a -G usb your_user_name
