You don't actually say what you're trying to accomplish, but it looks
like GPSBabel is doing exactly what you're telling it to do which happens
to be not quite what you think it is. :-)

This command tells GPSBabel to 
	Input from a Garmin a "file" from /dev/ttyS0
	Output to GPX on file of Desktop/training.gpx

Desktop/training.gpx should then have every route that's in your GPS.

If, however, it was your intent to send the Marengo file TO the GPS, you
should use

  gpsbabel -r -i gpx -f margengofile.gpx  -o garmin -F /dev/ttyS0
