Hi Chris,

The only (?!) problem is that I don't actually get a /dev/ttyUSB0, so what's wrong and/or how can I diagnose it?
This is probably some udev issue with not creating the device node. I had to create a device node manually. Off the top of my head, that device is major 188 and minor 0 (check /proc/devices for the major number).
So just create the device node and things would work.
.... as in 'mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0' ?
I have done that and now have a /dev/ttyUSB0 but it doesn't appear to work still.
... silly me, I needed to set the permissions so that the jPilot software could write to /dev/ttyUSB0, all works fine now.
Thanks for the help Srdjan.
