Palm USB connect is created 660

It needs to be, according to the manual, created as 666, so that the program can read/write to the device.  How do I enable this?

Have a look at your udev rules. You can flag a MODE for each device, adding or changing MODE="0660" to "0666".

I wouldn't change standard udev rules. You can create custom udev rule. As root create file /etc/udev/rules.d/00.udev.rules and put this inside:

BUS="usb", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", NAME="tts/USB%n", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", SYMLINK="pilot", MODE="0666", OPTIONS="last_rule"

(no line wrapping!)
Then you can reboot and try it. If this doesn't work post the output of

udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB...

where ... is the number for your palm. Using this information it will be easier to write a better udev rule (if the above won't work).
