The README now in CVS has had an update -- comments?  It mentions
the pci-utils/usb-utils patches as being needed for "Cold" Plugging, and
identifies modutils 2.4.2 as the minimum version (not 2.4.1 :-).

As for the error you report below, it seems strange.  What OS are
you running there ... and what does "bash -version" say to you?
(Some bash2-isms may have begun creeping in to the scripts; I
noticed that at least RH6.2 still defaults to using bash1.)

It looks as if /etc/hotplug/usb.rc is not getting run from the
"hotplug" init script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/hotplug).  What does
"chkconfig --list hotplug" tell you?  The RPM is suppsed to
configure that hotplug script (what would the APT version do?).
