You did great finding the problem, but failed to guess the fix :-) Indeed,
since the momento you plug the GPS receiver in the USB port, Linux detects
it and automatically loads the "garmin_gps" driver, which was done for
interfacing to this kind of GPS. Unfortunately, it seems the driver doesn't
work perfectly for some devices, or at least, there are better ways to do
the same. I got what I needed to make mine work from:
http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html

In short, unplug (or don't plug) the GPS receiver, then "rmmod garmin_usb",
and configure the system to prevent loading the driver againg, check the
link for the specific details for your Linux flavour.

You should be able to upload and download data to your GPSmap 60C from QLGT
without any problems after following the instructions.

Greeetings,
