If you don't have any other usb-serial devices plugged into your
machine, then /dev/ttyUSB1 should be the proper node (note the initial
'/' which your .coldsyncrc file doesn't have.)  The nodes are numbered
logically in the order which the OS sees them.  Check your system log
for what device is assigned what number.

Push the hotsync button first, wait 1-2 seconds, and then start
coldsync.  If you are running 'tail -f /var/log/messages' in a console
window, you can see the device connect properly before running coldsync.
