Glad I could help. :)  Does it work for all users?  When you log out, 
are the permissions reset to original state and then changed for other 
users when they log in?  The reason I ask is that the docs mention 
something about enabling CLOSE_SESSION in /etc/login.defs when using 
pam_devperm with login.

In my /etc/login.defs, it says that CLOSE_SESSIONS is obsolete, but I 
just had to mention this to ensure you don't run into problems. :-)

At any rate, cheers.
