You're running it as a user. modprobe can only be run as root.
(Though hotplug should be making this load automatically when you plug it in).
Apologies. Momentary loss of brain function. That (non-root account)
explains it. With proper privileges the module loads properly:
[michaelfavia@lithium ~]$ /sbin/lsmod | grep wacom
wacom 15041 0
[michaelfavia@lithium ~]$ grep -i wacom /var/log/messages | tail
Jan 22 18:07:07 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver wacom
Jan 22 18:07:07 localhost kernel: drivers/usb/input/wacom.c: v1.44:USB
Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver
2 questions (automatic module loading and failure to procure any data
with wacdump) remained until i found the true source of all of this
trouble. The lesson learned is that german shepherds like to curl up in
dark den like spaces and that you should always check your cable
connections before you open your mouth. Thanks for the help and sorry
for the trouble. -mf
