Yeah, that's because the device node gets recreated each time you
hotsync. Moreover, console.perms refers to /dev/pilot, which used to be
a symlink to /dev/ttyUSB1. Under udev, however, that symlink no longer
exists and so the permissions in console.perms never get applied.

The solution is to create a /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules file with
the following in it:

# palm pilot
KERNEL="ttyUSB1",       SYMLINK="pilot"

Maybe it would make sense to have this in the default udev config?
Otherwise, people that had the /dev/pilot link before udev will
experience breakage.
