I think it may be a question of permissions:
In earlier versions of Ubuntu I have no trouble with the ownership
<root:dialout> but in versions later than 10.04 that does not work.
In Version Ubuntu 12.04 and also in Mint 15 I have to set ownership to
<rein:rein> (where rein is my login name)
I do this at bootup with a little script.
Hope this helps.

I've just been on a 2000km trip.
I had upgraded the computer which runs xastir in the car and it just
didn't want to talk with the radio.
The radio has a cable which connects to a pl2303 serial-usb interface
and it was being detected and assigned /dev/ttyUSB0.
I found that gpsd was grabbing the device, so I instructed gpsd to
stick to /dev/ttyACM*, which was successful in terms of gpsd running
smoothly but didn't help me with accessing the radio.
I got as far as finding that /dev/ttyUSB0 is rw for root and group
dialout, and that I belong to group dialout.
Obviously after such a trip I'm a bit tired, so what other ideas for
troubleshooting have people got?
