The cart is before the horse here, Duncan.  By the time I figured out
that the problem was related to the plugdev group, I had found proper
references to it on Google and had it solved.  Before that, I was
looking at Hal, Dbus and udev config files to try to find an obvious
config error related to the error message I got, quoted in my first
post.  The error message was ambiguous in this regard, and didn't
mention plugdev.  There was nothing leading me to review the ebuild
notes.  God bless Google!

On top of that, I'd had no trouble with hot-plugging flash drives, my
camera, or anything else up to that point.  It was only the WD USB hard
drive that gave me grief.

I'll suggest that we end this thread.  Beating this dead horse isn't as
much fun as it was yesterday ;-)
