Kevin,

Try creating a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules with this content:

BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", SYMLINK="pilot"

Seemed to do the trick for me.  If it doesn't work, you can also try adding a 
file called /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-visor.permissions with this content:

ttyUSB1:$local:uucp:0660

For more info, look at this site:

which is where I found the solution that worked for me.

Hope that helps.
