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.

I didn't copy over the permissions file. The ttyUSBn devices aren't
being created with the wrong permissions--they're not being created at
all.
I gave up on most of these F8 bugs, to be honest. I'll go back to
Windows for what doesn't work in F8.
Question about another F8 bug: where does the "Shutdown" applet (menu
System -> Shut down...) get the "You are currently logged in as" value?
It shows on my system as "Unknown." The "User Switcher" applet knows
who I am, but the "Shut down" applet doesn't. Just curious, since it
isn't preventing anything from working.
