Well that's no fun -- ok. the first clue here is that the idProduct is still 0x0006, when after bcharge is run it should be 0x0004. So, lemme ask some questions about your setup:

- what OS version is on your Pearl?
- have you tried this as root user (maybe it's a permissions problem)?
- do you see anything in /var/log/messages that might provide a clue?

I don't know specifically what's wrong, but we can try and find out...
