PLEASE add replies to the bottom so we can read down through the problem 
before your reply.  Nuff said.  On to the problem.

You also need to check the files in "/cet/udev/permissions.d & /rules.d " to 
see if your device is covered with the existing rules/permissions and whether 
a symlink is being created. 

Read "man udev" and visit http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php for 
information about usb device rules.

HTH, Tom
