As previously mentioned, setting up some sort of USB group, and 
assigning proper permissions to the required devices/directories is 
probably the way to go.

Your script isn't working because linux does not honor the setuid bit on 
shell scripts for secuirty.  If you don't want to go to the hassle of 
making new groups just for the USB stuff, you'll need to use something 
like sudo to get around the permissions problems...
