Sorry, previous file was wrong, so I attached another one. The
interesting part looks like:

D [09/Sep/2014:17:31:33 +0400] [CGI] list_devices
D [09/Sep/2014:17:31:33 +0400] [CGI] libusb_get_device_list=7
D [09/Sep/2014:17:31:33 +0400] [CGI] Failed to open device, code: -3

It looks as permissions problem, but how can it be with root privileges?
