Can you please cd into your dosdevices folder and run this command?

ls -Fl

(that's an uppercase F and a lowercase L)

Then we will also need to see permissions of the serial device, so run this:

ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0

That's a lowercase L again... and run this too:

id -a

With all this info we can rule out a couple problems, chief among them:
1. Is the symlink named correctly and actually pointing to something that
exists
2. Do you actually have permissions to access the serial port

If you provide the output of all three of these commands, we should be able
to help.
