path[usb]=/lib/modules/ is the real killer, you scan all of
/lib/modules and pick up modules for every kernel.  Modutils 2.4 scans
all of /lib/modules/`uname -r` and its subdirectories by default.  You
do not need any path statements unless you have modules that are not
stored in the default path or its subdirectories.  IOW, remove all path
statements unless you are doing something really unusual.
