Trouble with importing

[Ben Ahrens]

I did indeed use the particular revision compiled with the addons.  I
discovered that if I log in as root or make myself a user with full
privileges I can successfully import the rfid module, just not using
sudo.  Of course neither of those options are particularly good ones,
but that's the only way I've gotten it to work thus far.
