so you put the files somewhere else and removed them from jre/lib/ext/ right...? just making sure...
As far as running as root, you shouldn't have to. The only reason I know of you may have to run as root is the USB device node permissions, by default they are 644, unless you mount /proc/bus/usb with the 'devmode=0666' option, which lets all users access the devnodes. It is possible that the JNI has a bug when it can't access the devnodes; it should obviously just fail, but I haven't tested it in a while. Did you get the output when using -DJAVAX_USB_MSG_LEVEL=DEBUG3? That should show where in JNI you're dying... About the jre/lib/ext directory, jars in that directory get special treatment by the JRE. I don't trust JVMs to work right, when using jars in that directory.
