The message refers to an operation in the program source not to a 
file, so it makes not difference whether you're root or not.

I tried getting the modem to work a month or so ago to
find out that the hcfusbmodem-driver doesn't support 2.6[1].
Michael said it would work but might cause kernel data to
be corrupted (which is something you _don't_ want and 
which is something that is far from being stable and usable).

I ended up booting 2.4 when I wanted to use the modem.
Also note that AFAIK the "free" driver restricts the modem
to 33k baud - 56k is only possible with the commerical driver.
