The output from lsusb remains the same, no visible
output, with or without the player attached.  This
behavior is the same when I execute lsusb as root and
with -v.  

For reference, I also plugged in a USB drive and a
multi-card reader.  The output of lsusb does not
change with these.  There is no output when run as
user or root (Perhaps it likes to query /proc/bus/usb
but doesn't see anything because udev seems to be
placing things in /sys?).  They show up in the output
from lsscsi as expected.

While trying to think of anything else that might be
able to feed me information about what's plugged in, I
finally saw lshal and tried it.  Using that, I found
the player's sysfs path.  Maybe it's a system
configuration issue?  The instructions on libmtp say
to just place its libmtp.rules file in
/etc/udev/rules.d for everything to work.  I'm
guessing SuSE's udev rules are set up differently than
other distributions, and I'll need to write one.  More
searching about is needed.

Thanks for the reply.
