Hi Nathanael,

Thanks for sticking with this bug, and handling the web side of things
for me.

The 69-blackberry.rules file that is in git does not do any permissions
stuff by itself.  Instead, it sets the ACL_MANAGE flag, which is supposed
to be seen by other udev rules in the system, and trigger the permissions
handling as defined by the rest of the default Fedora system.

This link describes some of the ACL_MANAGE workings:

        http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg03382.html

Also /lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules is enlightening.

Grepping through /lib/udev/rules.d, on a Fedora 13 install, shows a lot of
rules that make use of ACL_MANAGE.  If this is still the case on Fedora 14,
then there must be a proper way to make this work, and hook in for Barry.

On your system, are the permissions of the USB device (either under /dev
or under /proc or /sys) set to 0770?  Or are you accessing the device
through the ACL mechanism (i.e. getfacl <filename>)?

I'd try to determine how this is working on your system first, and then
we'll have more information to ask the folks in the bug report, and
some commands for them to run and report back with.

Thanks again,
- Chris
