I don't know if something is busted in my rawhide setup, or if this is just a real problem with the new scheme of running as user qemu, but user qemu (on my system at least), has no access to physical usb devices. I had to change the qemu.conf file to tell it to run as root before it could attach a usb device to my windows XP virtual machine.

Just for the record, a better workaround is to enable the virt_use_usb boolean with 'setsebool virt_use_usb true'
Cheers, Mark.
