Looking at a Gutsy system I found what has changed. On gutsy udev would
assign group rights of "plugdev" to USB portable storage, and Hardy is
assigning "disk".

It looks like the following line in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules is 
the culprit:
ATTRS{type}=="0",                     GROUP="disk"
This line is new in Hardy. After commenting it out I now get the expected 
permissions:

brw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 8, 16 2008-04-29 11:06 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 8, 17 2008-04-29 11:06 /dev/sdb1
