Right, as you noticed, it doesn't appear that the "generic" interface code
is setup to transmit and receive at the same time. You can't open up the
same device twice, so you two command line options won't work either. As
far as I can tell this will require some code modifications if you want to
use direct serial communcation.
Another option might be to write a thin glue layer that talks to FlightGear
over the network, and talks to your hardware over a serial port and then
does all the appropriate data translation as required.
What properties are you importing into FlightGear? You can open up the
property browser and check to see if they are being changed as you expect.
