The problem is that you didn't give the user any special permissions, as 
the user didn't exists on your system before the USB has been attached 
and those you can't give any user specific permissions, in best case you 
could have a default "new user" permissions, but that tends to be 
something Lennart will forget as he trusts his json file.
