try unplugging the usb cable to the acurite console, then plug it back in.

is this a new install, or an upgrade?  deb/rpm package?  which operating 
system?

this is the second 'no permissions' report we have seen for v5.  in v4, a 
new deb/rpm install of weewx would run as root, so permissions to the usb 
device were not an issue.  in v5, a new deb/rpm install of weewx will run 
as the 'weewx' user, so the udev rules must be in place and activated.  
unless you are running an old operating system, the system should 
automatically detect the weewx.rules file that the installer installs.  
when it does not, the solution is to unplug and replug the device.  we 
could invoke udevadm and trigger explicitly, but we don't want to go there 
until we understand which operating systems are not picking up the udev 
rules automatically.
