I think its a permissions issue, there was some discussion in the past  
about it, but I don't remember off hand what the resolution was.   
Check the archives.  Basically, Ubuntu recently made it harder to get  
the HID data in the interest of security.  Hmm, this should be a FAQ  
entry, but I don't think it is...
