dapper jpilot sync problems

[Jaime Davila]

Can you check the permissions on ttyUSB0 ?

On my system, it gets created with permissions 600, with root being the 
owner. I'm lazy, so I just do a sudo chmod 666 on it, but there's a way 
of setting up the USB system so it automatically gets set to 660 (or 
whatever you want) as soon as it gets created.
