My mistake - I tried to remove the /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1 file instead of your recommendation of the /dev/bus/usb/001 file. I tried the command you suggested and it worked! Thank you so much! So now the fix is simply to give that same rm command whenever I boot up.

I tried removing the device directory as the root user, with no luck: # rm -rf /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1 gave "rm: cannot remove '/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1': Operation not permitted"

Have you tried removing the device file/dir? e.g. sudo rm -rf /dev/bus/usb/001 Often you may recreate device files using MAKEDEV (man MAKEDEV, e.g sudo MAKEDEV usb, or if the kernel recreates their /dev space, by rebooting, or by noting their major/minor device numbers and using mknod directly)
