Fedora Users — [FC1] Want to ignore a USB device

I've got an HP pocket PC with a USB docking cradle. I'm also running winxp under VMware and I want the docking cradle to be used there. Unfortunately, fedora is grabbing the device first and VMware can't see it. I've been trying to figure out how to fix this through hotplug but haven't been able to yet.

This is the messages logged when the pocket pc is plugged in and the entry from the lsusb command.
