What application are you using to sync your m515? Coldsync already supports USB. While the stable release of pilot-link and thus jpilot does not yet support USB. But the developer's release already supports them. They work on my USB-based Handspring Visor.
Have you tried using /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 Note that as of now you have to press the hot sync button first before issuing the software command to sync.
