The group membership looks good. But, just to be sure, did you log out and back in after adding yourself to the 'dialout' group?
It won't take effect unless you've logged out and back in.

Sam,
Please do this:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
Send back the output.
Also send back the output of this when you are using your user (regular) account:
groups
It is important that you are in the group that owns /dev/ttyUSB0
I'm not using Ubuntu but Arch Linux, but here is my output to show you:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw---- 1 root *uucp* 188, 0 Mar 21 09:40 /dev/ttyUSB0
[djringjr@n1ea ~]$ groups video *uucp* wheel djringjr
I've made *uucp *bold so you can see the important part.
I believe /dev/ttyUSB0 in Ubuntu is owned by root tty - don't change it! Just make sure you are a member of whatever group that owns /dev/ttyUSB0.
Different distros handle devices slightly differently. The point is that if you are executing CHIRP and you are not a member of the group that owns the /dev/ttyUSB0 device, it will not work.
To add a user to a group - whatever group owns the ttyUSB0 -
sudo adduser user group
Where user is your user name and group is the group that owns ttyUSB0
