USB Card Reader Permissions

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to set the permissions for a USB
card reader when it's plugged in? I've been Googling for hours and found
nothing concrete so far although I'll keep looking.
So far I have this situation:
I plug in the card reader and device nodes are created
(e.g. /dev/da0s1, /dev/da1s1 etc). I can mount this as root and if I manually
set the permissions I can mount it as my user too. What I can't work out is
how to change the permissions when I plug it in so I can just use the reader
as my user.
I've read the man pages for devfs, devfs.conf and devfs.rules. devfs.rules
looks like what I need but I can't work out what I actually need to do or how
to test a rule without rebooting.
I'm using FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
