Dumb question - did you also copy the 60-pilot.perms to
/etc/security/console.perms.d? This controls the
ownership/permissions of the USB port. You will probably have to log
out and back in for the rules to take affect.

Hi Mark
My F8 also had a similar issue, it magically stopped
creating /dev/ttyUSB[01] for my Palm Z22. I found that
in /etc/modprobe.d the visor module had been blacklisted! I removed the
blacklist and everything was gravy again. Why or where the blacklist
came from I have no idea....
Hope this helps
Bill
