This describe exactly what is happening and the correct solution :-)

This is quite strange, because when enumeration the usb buses and
opening the usb interface for sniffing the pcap code is looking for the
same files...

Again, this describe exactly what is happening and the correct
solution :-). The text string produced by the kernel has changed
switching from fedora 5 to fedora 6.

p.s. the usb sniffing code is currently under heavy refactoring, so
things are going to change...
