Some pilots have two USB end points. e.g. ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1. The latter is
used for the backups, but if udev, if not given enough detail to match
against, sometimes links pilot to the former (if your rule matches both
endpoints perhaps there is a race condition).

Try watch ls -l /dev/pilot to see where it is linking to.
