USB troubles

[Blake Thornton]

I am having trouble with some USB devices on Fedora 10.  I have three 
computer running fedora 10 and they all seem to have similar issues.

I have a Palm Lifedrive.  Thus, it should be able to sync in hotsync mode 
as well as act as a storage device.

Sync'ing:
 	- it does not work with jpilot preferences selected "usb:".
 	- If I modprobe visor (or turn off the blacklist visor in /etc/modprobe.d), the 
devices /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 appear.  Originally, this was fine
but now I have lost permissions and can only access those devices as root 
(or, if I use root to chmod them).

Lifedrive access:
 	- If I enter "drive mode" in the palm, the device does not 
automatically appear.  But, I can access the device if I mount the device 
by hand:
 	mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 tmp/

It is not an emergency, but it is annoying.  Any help would be 
appreciated.

Here is the result of /var/log/messages when I plug in the device:
