I also don't recall the exact name of this tool, but I do
recall it is not very useful in pinning down bus failures
(as opposed to just watching traffic on a working bus).
Maybe something gets logged (ASL/syslog), though when I
was looking at a similar problem (device on the bus going
away), nothing was.

Most likely there is some seldom occurring conflict between
all the USB connected devices.  Maybe watching/logging what
they're doing would be useful.  I'd try not connecting them
until they are needed, then disconnecting them when done,
or maybe just powering them down.
