Nearly there -- now udev is creating the device node, but the permissions
are wrong.

To David's udev line
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{product}=="Palm Handheld*|Handspring 
*|palmOne Handheld", SYMLINK+="pilot"

try adding the MODE="0666", i.e.

KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{product}=="Palm Handheld*|Handspring 
*|palmOne Handheld", SYMLINK+="pilot", MODE="0666"

This says "any user may access this device".  If you have more exclusive
access requirements on this box, you can use the USER and GROUP fields to
restrict access further, but if this is a personal computer you probably
don't care so much.

Then restart udevd (or reboot) and try again.
