Ideas to get around error connecting an ACER Iconia Tab A500

[Mark C. Allman]

Kernel: 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64

Fuse packages installed:
    fuse-libs-2.8.5-5.fc15.x86_64
    fuseiso-20070708-10.fc15.x86_64
    gvfs-fuse-1.8.2-1.fc15.x86_64
    glusterfs-fuse-3.1.2-4.fc15.x86_64
    fuse-2.8.5-5.fc15.x86_64

mtp packages installed:
    libmtp-1.0.6-3.fc15.x86_64
    libmtp-examples-1.0.6-3.fc15.x86_64
    libmtp-hal-1.0.6-3.fc15.x86_64

I connect the tablet and see the device /dev/libmtp-2-1 (which is a link
to a device in /dev/bus/usb/...).  I can get some data from the device
by using dd so I can open and talk to the tablet.  

    dd if=/dev/libmtp-2-1 bs=40 count=10 of=test.data
    2+0 records in
    2+0 records out
    80 bytes (80 B) copied, 7.2846e-05 s, 1.1 MB/s


When I try to mount it via:

    mount -t fuse /dev/libmtp-2-1 /media/test

I get:

    /bin/sh: /dev/bus/usb/002/004: Permission denied

I'm doing all this as root so the "Permission denied" error is something
not-so-obvious.  Anyone have a suggestion to try?

TIA.
