I am having this same problem. I am running Fedora 12 and installed Calibre 0.6.51 from the Calibre website. I have an non-updated Sony 500. It is found if I run Caliibre from root, but not from my user account. In the terminal it repeats the following error:
Quote:

I have added my user to plugdev, usb, and disk (I had to create plugdev and usb).
ls -l /dev/sd? returns:

These are my two hard drives.
I have also tried ls -l /dev and the list is identical whether or not the Reader is plugged in.
