Tom,
I am running VMWare WS Version 5.5.1 build 19175
When I insert the usb media, I get an audible sound, an icon is placed
on the desktop, and a folder is opened with flashing notification in the
Gnome taskbar at the bottom of the workspace. ( Not sure if this has any
relevance but, when I initially startup VMware, the usb hub is found by
Vmware and annotated as present.)
The reason I write this, is I am not sure I am tracking on the essence
of the problem -- probably just me as I am not the sharpest tool in the
shed ;o) Anyway, I have provided some directory listings below from my
system; is the consistent/inconsistent with your observations?
Thanks,
Doug

Sigh. vmware can no longer scan for USB devices.
I've tried passing in the 'new location' (i.e. /sys/bus/usb), etc.,
but that crashes vmware.
vmware appears not to like /dev/bus/usb (it is looking for a 'devices'
directory).
Posted this in the vmware support board......
