2). ls -l /dev will show you the permissions
for number 3, i think you will have to use chmod 777 /dev/usb?device or 
maybe chmod ug+rw /dev/usb<whatever it is device>

i can not give a definitive answer but the commands "ls -l" and "man 
chmod" might help get you on the road

dmesg and /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog are your friends at this 
point. . .
