There have been a few threads where people were trying to get this stick going… but they’ve mainly been about learning OH! And yes, hopefully they can all be used as a reference for others! I learn something new every time I go through the forum, and there are a lot of helpful people here who made my initial OH setup so much easier than going at it alone! 
Which version of OH are you running? You can find it on the bottom of the home page/welcome screen or Karaf console after a startup. When I first setup this stick, I was stuck about where you are! It looks like after the controller was first setup, it stayed in Initializing until the binding was restarted. After creating/configuring the coordinator, what happens when you restart OH?
It was in the link with the permissions setup…

… so I thought you might have only half set it up, and was hoping that would explain why only the zwave was working. If you didn’t set it for the zwave side, then this is likely not the issue. It’s more for non-standard port names setup through udev rules. To answer your question though, you would put that line in a text file named openhab2 in /etc/default. You could try it… I don’t think it could hurt anything. Maybe try running OH as root to eliminate the possibility of a permissions issue? You said zwave was online. Have you included anything and is everything functional?
