I think you need to make sure that it's not VMware that's failing to plug the
device through in a timely manner.

dmesg -w

Would confirm that it's getting there.  You say that you can get it working
as root.  How does --card-status know which USB device to use?  Does it
perhaps scan through all devices? I wonder if it is getting stuck on some
other device that it hasn't got permission?
