Nor did I until Rainer pointed it out to me a day or two ago, which  
eventually led to this ticket:

Huh?

$ locate libusb
...
/opt/local/lib/libusb-0.1.4.4.4.dylib
...
/opt/local/lib/libusbpp-0.1.4.4.4.dylib
...
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/libusb.pc
...

It should be seeing most things the 'nobody' user can see.  You aren't  
thinking about which/whereis/type are you?
