I have a working Tungsten E and it seems to me that you are suffering
from an UDEV problem. Here's what I got:

/etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP:="usb", MODE:="0666"
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB[13579]",
SYMLINK="pilot", MODE:="0666", GROUP:="usb"

/etc/udev/permissions.d/10-visor.permissions:
ttyUSB*:root:usb:0666
tts/[0-9]*:root:usb:0666
tts/USB[0-9]*:root:usb:0666
pilot:root:usb:0666

With that I am able to just use /dev/pilot regardless of which ttyUSB is
really created. Before I forget: I put myself in the usb group.
