[jp] ln -sf /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/pilot

This is sooo strange:
I entered the commands when I thought were correct:
     > [/etc/udev/rules.d] > grep -i pilot*
     > [/etc/udev/rules.d] > grep -i visor *
     > [/etc/udev/rules.d] > grep -i zire *

and it happily accepted it.  Unfortunately now when I type '> grep -i palm
*' I get the error:

     bash: -i: command not found

I was entering it as root but when I type it in with sudo as <user> it
responds:

1     bmike1 at 1[rules.d]$ sudo grep -i palm *
2     45-libgphoto2.rules:# Aiptek PalmCam Trio
3     60-symlinks.rules:# Create /dev/pilot symlink for Palm Pilots
4     60-symlinks.rules:#KERNEL="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*",
\
5     60-symlinks.rules:Palm Handheld*|Handspring *", SYMLINK+="/dev/pilot
6     bmike1 at 1[rules.d]$

It still won't sync. What's up with that? Could it be the '\' in line 4?
