Well since I am home
"chown $console_user /dev/bus/usb/$bus_num/$dev_num" fails with:
chown: cannot access `/dev/bus/usb/002/018': No such file or directory
Anything that slows down the script (ls /dev/bus/usb/$bus_num, usleep 1, etc.)
seems to be enough for the device to be created.

Should the script wait for the device to be created or is there a better
way to handle this?
