The visor.rules should be sufficient and is what I am using. The
setting of permissions is then handled by /etc/security/console.perms

I think the problem may be that console.perms has 
<console>  0600 <pilot>      0660 root.uucp

If you logged in through a graphical prompt (gdm or whatever) try
changing that line to
<xconsole> 0600 <pilot>      0660 root.uucp


Normail operation should be :

* plug in pilot device via usb 
* start hotsync on device
* device is detected and stuff is printed in /var/log/messages
* /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/tty/USB0 and /dev/pilot are created and are owned
by currently logged in user and with permissions 600
