I don't have much experience with USB devices or how udev handles
them in /dev.  All my experience which is quite limited would suggest
that it is still a permission issue.  You could find the (ephemeral)
device file(s) and check the perms on them and then issue the groups
command to check against.  My guess is you still have a permission
problem that is more likely due to /etc/groups than to /etc/udev.d.
