Hmm.  One possibility is that HAL has been updated (see thread from
Frederic Crozat from March 21st last).

You might be able to check this by suspending hald and restarting
gpilotd.  gpilotd should fall back to polling /proc for detection of USB
devices.

If that's not the case, please send gpilotd console output.
