I think I actually just figured this out today. Check
/etc/udev/rules.d. If there's only one file there, a soft link
entitled z_hal_plugdev.rules or something (I'm away from my computer
right now), there's your problem. Just copy (or, even better, link)
udev.rules from the /etc/udev/ directory into the rules.d directory
and run "invoke-rc.d udev restart".

Remember, though, you need to be in the plugdev group for this to work
properly. 

I have no idea why udev.rules isn't in the rules directory to begin
with. But moving it in there should do the trick.

Best,
