I didn't have much luck with libusb under Debian. Try "-t net" instead.

The other thing to keep in mind is the specific USB port may move around 
(okay, or maybe VIA just makes lousy USB chipsets). Two syncs in a row may 
get completely different ports. The USB hotplugging stuff (described in 
README.usb in the CVS version) takes away that guesswork if you're running 
in daemon mode.
