This is great news. If you have it running in Windows, it should be
possible to do it in Linux as well.

I believe this is the cause of both problems. Since you seem to be
installing from the binary package, the permissions on the device
should be already set correctly. But your own user account may not be
in the plugdev or dialout groups.
Run the following command at the command line:
groups
For example, I get the following:
[cdfrey]$ groups
cdfrey dialout cdrom floppy tape audio src video plugdev fuse barry
Keep changing the groups on your account and testing until you can run
a command like 'bidentify' or 'btool -l' successfully without error,
and it shows your device. Then try backup and modem.
