[Bug 370277] [NEW] gnome-format: Error opening /dev/sdc:permission denied

[sam tygier]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-format

this is the first time i have tried, so i am not sure how much is needed
to trigger this.

i have a brand new CF card (4GB).
i put it a usb multiformat card reader, and then unmounted it
i ran a write badblock test on it (i am paranoid)
sudo badblocks -w -s /dev/sdc
(it found no bad blocks)

opened gnome-format.
selected the 4GB card
selected FAT
clicked format

received error
"Error opening /dev/sdc:permission denied"

i was not asked for a password at any time.
