The attachment may not be quite right.  usbserial wants the device to
be in a sub-directory of /dev, but the actuall serial driver does not.
I'll try moving my device files up one directory and see if that helps.

Otherwise, I get to learn about usb calls directly (I did a "man devfs"
and "man -K devfs" and got nothing on my machine, so it's gonna take
a while :-)

Patience, persistence, truth,
