/dev/pilot is created as a link pointing to the USB port. I don't know
what permissions are on the USB port itself (which will determine my
permissions as these override the link permissions) as I can't see where
the port is actually created!

Anyone know where these 'on the fly' USB ports actually live so I can
look to see what permissions are on it???

Looking in /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions I see the
following...but am not sure how entries are selected (ie where the
string 'pilot' comes from to trigger these settings).

# pilot/palm devices
pilot:root:uucp:0660


In /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules I have

BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*",
SYMLINK="pilot"

which suggests that, as the /dev/pilot symlink is created everything is
working properly, except that there does appear to be a permissions
issue, given the jpilot error message...

   pi_bind Invalid argument

Help!
