I didn't have any /dev/ttyUSB devices, I think that's the other way of 
configuring it, which I've just tried and it works.

Ubuntu blacklists the garmin_gps kernel module and recommends using the 
usb: option, but doing 'modprobe garmin_gps' and then using your command
line seems to work. 

I'd still like to know why the usb: option doesn't work, but for now I
have something that does work at least. Thanks for your help!
