I just found the solution for Suse 10.0. You need to edit two files:
 
Go to /etc/fstab and change the usbfs line - change noauto for devmode=0666.
 
Then go to /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules, go to almost the final and found 
the comment "# libusb device access (mount usbfs or usbdev nodes)" and in the 
next line change RUN+="/bin/mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb" for 
RUN+="/bin/mount -a -t usbfs"

This might be still a security flaw as it does allow writing for _all_ USB 
devices. However your jukebox will be accessible right after boot.
