No, a couple times I got a different error relating to it not seeing the
device but that goes away when I replug it. :-) But I haven't ever
successfully downloaded data.

Thanks, I actually do have that setup correctly; I can get the same error
without sudo. I can also use gpsbabel without sudo. I think that was a cut
and paste from one of my earliest attempts when I tried as root to see if it
