I don't really think the solution to your problem was obvious. I recall
having the same difficultly when I first tried to use libusb. In fact, I
didn't even think that my suggestion would help because libusb is able to
give good error messages to the user (the application using the
library) so sane should have suggested there was a permissions problem.

Regardless, the problem is now solved, so everybody should be happy :)
