Hello everyone, I recently ran across the same issue (though be it with a different version of usb-modeswitch) and since this one wasn't closed I thought I'd report my findings.
Versions (debian squeeze, using backports) usb-modeswitch (1.1.9-2~bpo60+1) usb-modeswitch-data (20110805-1~bpo60+1) Summary: the filesystem that the temporary config was being extracted to was read-only and the usb_modeswitch_dispatcher terminates with an error. Same issue as reported in this report, hotplug worked fine, cold boot failed. Did some udev debugging and saw the dispatcher did get started. Did some more debugging, changing scripts here and there (to prevent forking to the background and redirecting output) and finally saw that due to /root being mounted read-only on boot, usb-modeswitch failed to extract the right config from the data tarball. I extracted the config manually placed it in the right folder and everything was working fine after that. Hope it helps, S.
