2.6.13, hald-0.5.3, dbus-0.35.2, hotplug-2004_03_23, thinkpad 390E and 600E

At OLS this year I saw Greg K-H running hald/messagebus and displaying output with (I assume) hal-device-manager. On insertion of a stack of usb devices the display in had-device-manager dynamically updated.

I've got hald/dbus running and displaying correctly, except it doesn't detect hotplug events (usb flash memory used as test). I have to restart hald before the device is detected. I have the flash stick appear as /dev/pny%n (vfat is pny1, ext3 is pny4) using udev.rules. I can rw to the flash memory just fine. When I run hald --verbose=yes, I get the looping message

../...../addon-storage.c:283: open failed for /dev/pny: permission denied.

hald doesn't update for a usb zip drive either, but I didn't look at the error messages.

What do I have to do to get hald to update on hotplugging?

Thanks Joe
