Alright. I figured it out. transfer.flags needed to be a byte instead of an int. Silly me. Now I'm getting an error code from ioctl, errno 16, which I think means the device is busy. What a workaholic. I've asked on the libusb mailing list.
Below is what I have so far. This isn't really that much code. Most of it is ctypes structures for libusb. Scroll down to the bottom to see the actual code where the error occurs.
