OK I have it working ...... I had created a winXP VM as kvm with its disk as slice /dev/sda3 I can launch it directly from the command line with qemu /dev/sda3 ... to get usb working (I got a usb flash disk working) did a lsusb and found the device: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 08ec:0015 M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers Kingston DataTraveler ELITE then launched the kvm host with: "qemu -usb -usbdevice host:08ec:0015 /dev/sda3" it took a little bit but the device was recognized and I can access it and use it under the kvm host.
