FC4 Device permission Issues

["Mukund JB." <mukundjb@esntechnologies.co.in>]

Dear Kernel Coders,

I have noticed my Flashmedia based block driver not working properly on FC4. 
ISSUE is: I am not able to format the Block device file using any of the mkfs* commands.
Where as I am able to format the floopy drive.

But, I am able to mount, read/write & dd the device file. 
Udev created the my flashmedia device file with following permission '640'.

I was also successfull in changing the device file permissions to '777' using the the "/etc/udev/rules.d/fm.rules" 
file.

But Still I am not able to format the card and it says: permission denied. 
But, at the same time I have no such issues with the same driver working on the FC3 dist.

I have noticed audit.log being updated with new error "denied" messages whenever I try to format the card. 
Please see the attachment to this mail.

See the logs below as well:
# tail /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep tfa

type=PATH msg=audit(1131719847.291:372708): item=0 name="/dev/tfa3"
