	Well, the _file_ /dev/usb0 exists at all times, it's just that
unless the PDA is syncing, it doesn't exist. It's similar to the way
that you can create /dev/sd5a, but unless you actually install a SCSI
disk with ID 5, you'll get "Device not configured" if you try to read
from /dev/sd5a.

	The output from 'dmesg' says "ugen0", but this is a kernel
message, and need not correspond exactly to anything in /dev. My guess
is that you'll want to use /dev/ugen0.00 or /dev/ugen0.02, but that's
just a guess.
