I have similar problems; when my system first starts up, the usb device (under
/proc/bus/usb/) is owned by root, and group root, however if I unplug my scanner
(it is a canon n670u) and plug it back in again, the relevant device is now
correctly owned by group scanner:

-rw-rw---- 1 root scanner 57 2005-09-25 14:07 /proc/bus/usb/002/004

In short, on startup hotplug (or something in the stack) doesn't chgrp the
device to the correct owner.
