Does 'ls /proc/bus/usb/' give you anything? If not, you need the usbfs
filesystem mounted. Add this to your /etc/fstab and then run 'mount -a'.

  none                    /proc/bus/usb           usbfs defaults        0 0

Then try 'ls /proc/bus/usb/' again, and you should see stuff. Then try
kinfocenter again..
