Thanks Matze. I've removed the udev rules/script I had previously setup
as per the HOWTO and substituted the rules you gave. I've symlinked them
into /etc/udev/rules.d too and restarted udev, but get the same result.
I'm running Ubuntu Dapper. Am I right in thinking the entries in
/proc/bus/usb/XXX/XXX should be modified to match the rules (i.e. group
scard, mode 644)? Because they don't seem to be:

# ls -l /proc/bus/usb/002/021
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43 2006-07-11 21:58 /proc/bus/usb/002/021

I get the same failure as reported before even if I manually change the
group and permissions on the device node. And yes, my user is in the
scard group. :)

FWIW, lsusb for the device reports:

Bus 002 Device 021: ID 072f:0001 Advanced Card Systems, Ltd AC1030-based
SmartCard Reader

What can I try next?

Thanks,

Tony
