Running it as root seems to fix the problems, but that's no way to do it 
of course...

The file you mentioned doesn't seem to exist on my system, there is no  
permissions.d/ in etc/udev/ , and the other files don't make much sence 
to me. The only bit I spotted which I thought looked a bit odd was this:

# ieee1394 devices      
KERNEL=="raw1394",    GROUP="disk"
KERNEL=="dv1394*",    GROUP="video"
KERNEL=="video1394*",    GROUP="video"

Thanks both for the help, let's see if we can get this so it works the 
way it should, then I'll add a how-to to the wiki.
