Barry does have command line tools for accessing the data.  Btool is
the primary one.  Syncing is primarily a command line affair.

What did you have in mind?

This is the critical problem, in my opinion.  The ID's here should not
be just zeros.  They should identify actual devices on your system.
Devices are found by the ID's they report, and if this part of your system
doesn't work, Barry has no hope. :-)

So I'm going to suspect a kernel issue, or a hardware issue.

Can you try plugging in other USB devices and testing if their ID's
appear there?

Also, try running lsusb as root.  This shouldn't make any difference, but
it is worth a try, and may point to what the real problem is.
