(not quite sure why all the devices have a GID of vboxusers, which is a group created by VirtualBox - perhaps this is the root cause of my problems?)
[root@detritus ~]# getent group vboxusers
vboxusers:x:506:russ
[root@detritus ~]# rpm -q VirtualBox
VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_fedora9-1.x86_64

2) Changing MODE appears to make no difference (I unplugged and replugged USB cable).

3) Changing selinux to permissive mode didn't help either :-(
