Well, if you say so, I believe you. The reason I think I don't have the correct permissions settings is because on the following web page, it says that the error I get is because the permissions are wrong. If I already have the "correct" permissions settings, and I still get this error, then I'm at a loss to diagnose the problem. http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Running_JPilot_as_a_non-privileged_user.htm...

make sure that 'jpilot' or any other program that you wish to use to sync your Palm, uses /dev/pilot
In the JPilot preferences page, it has a field for entering in "Serial Port". In that field I have "/dev/pilot". There does not seem to be an option or way to specify whether or not the connection is USB, but I assume if it's going to /dev/pilot then it should be looking in the right place...?
---- look again at the output of 'ls -l /dev/pilot /dev/ttyUSB*'
if you are syncing, /dev/pilot is a symbolic link to /dev/ttyUSB1
what more do you think that you need?
