Yep, using --retain-privileges makes it work for me too.  Thanks Diego.

I haven't tried Kay's C program yet, though my linux-libc-headers are 
going to cause me some pain I think.  I already had to add a hack to 
allow HAL to compile in the first place (2.6.8.1 headers are missing the 
#define HID_MAX_USAGES 1024).

Matt.
