In a clean install of ubuntustudio 9.10 I don't see this problem:

pablo@email-addr-hidden:~$ groups
pablo adm dialout cdrom audio plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
pablo@email-addr-hidden:~$ ulimit -r
99

BUT:

pablo@email-addr-hidden:~$ ulimit -l
64

I think I will have to add the memlock unlimited line in
'/etc/security/limits.conf' . Anyway, jackd starts with the -R option.

I suggest you check 'ulimit -r' just in case .
