Right -- the current version won't understand the 2.4.1 modutils
output, but then its standard install isn't in the path that the
hotplug scripts use.

Curious.  I didn't see that, but then maybe I'm running with
a "which" command that doesn't have that bug.

Sounds good!  The fix is now in CVS (at linux-usb for now).

Great!  Thanks for the confirmation.
