Problems Connecting to USB Devices through VMWare 2.0?

Stolen from a forum online, placed here on my blog so I can find it:

I’ve found I have to run this after connecting any usb devices:

sudo chmod -R 777 /proc/bus/usb/*

Otherwise when you goto device connect in VMWare server 2.0 remote console, it comes up with:
“Remote USB device error: Remote device disconnected: an error occured while sending data.”

Works like a charm!
