This seems to be a different problem, unless the other guy is not
seriously mistaken. In his case the original device nodes were not
created.
Whoops, I didn't read carefully enough. I guess the OP might be able to
rememdy through editing /etc/hotplug/ stuff, if the attachment's being
picked up (q.v. lsusb), right?

If we were talking about a proposed patch for udev, it would belong
here. I keep the hope.
There would also be a significant development content if we dicussed
how to find a Pilot in a more robust way with udev. The thing is,
we cannot ship KERNEL="ttyUSB1", because of dynamic numbering.
Not to mention that it's not entirely clear which PalmOS devices use the
even device numbers as opposed to odd -- e.g. ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1. I'm
sure this information can be discovered, but I've not looked for a list
either.
