my laptop is thinkpad t61, and i do not have /proc/acpi/battery/BATO/state... :(

now i have a damn wired good news. all the problems i talked about are
gone. :) i can access my usb disk, i can see the battery info.

yesterday, after i have joined those groups, i did not restart my
system. i just exit X, and log off, then log on, and i did not able to
access those resources. but today, after a cold start up, all the
problems are fixed without touching any configuration.

i think this is just a group and permission issue.
