When you tell VMware to attach the PDA you should get a popup window
that says something on the order of: The device seems to be claimed by
another driver (some-driver).........
Comparing the output of lsmod before and after plugging in devices may
also be useful.
Have you tried rmmod some-driver?
It works for my usb disk.
The problem, of course, would be a device in use by the host OS needing
the driver for a device that you want to use on the host OS would stop
working.
