The initial release had kernel package version 2.6.31-14, am I right? This version supports usbfs.
The command "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=118,devmode=664 0 0" in /etc/fstab works well with 2.6.31-14. It also works well with 2.6.31-17. But with versions 2.6.31-18 and 2.6.31-20 it doesn't work!

My HASP drivers (version 3.50 - latest for now) doesn't see any keys without that command.
My proprietary VirtualBox software (version 3.1.4 - latest for now) can't use usb devices without usbfs, because it need vboxusers group ID to be set explicitly, like that: "devgid=118" (see command above).

Do you understand the problem?
