You're close - but you should be using SYMLINK not NAME (not sure what
the "ignore_remove" does) and this makes either ttyUSB0 or whatever the
last ttyUSB* device is, /dev/pilot (I don't recall which, but I'm sure you
know...).

Try using KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]" - ie, only the odd ones.

Also, the rule you're specifying _should_ already exist
in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules (minus the permissions)
