There are two ways of using a serial USB port.  One uses udev to 
create /dev/ttyUSB0 (or /dev/ttyUSB1) and the other uses libusb 
and usb:  (that colon is needed).
Problem is, the two systems conflict.
When you connect your device look in /dev and see if ttyUSB0 has 
been created.  Then "locate libusb" or use synaptic to see if 
libusb is installed.  If both things are true, you will need to 
suppress one of them.
