Sorry for bothering you about the matter.
I had just forgotten what I had done previously. After rereading your
documentation and checking my old udev files, I found that, under Fedora
7, I had to tell the OS about the devices. When I did the same thing
with 1.03 for Fedora 7, the problem disappeared. I didn't try the
Policy-Kit method.
I've figured out why version 0.8 worked under Fedora 9---which is what
had confused me. I had installed it as a Fedora package, and I'm pretty
sure that installed a relevant file in /etc/udev/rules.d. (I checked my
ubuntu machine where I had installed 1.03 as an Ubuntu package, and that
is exactly what happened.) When I removed the package and replaced it
with the 1.03 binaries, the file in rules.d was also removed.
