Errors talking to serial port

[Kirk McCann]

I'm getting this error when trying to read data from a usb serial device. 

15:18:25.607 DEBUG o.o.b.s.internal.SerialBinding[:114] - Serial Binding Port:/dev/ttyUSB0
15:18:44.734 ERROR o.o.m.i.i.GenericItemProvider[:343] - Binding configuration of type 'serial' of item ‘serialdevice‘ could not be parsed correctly.

demo.item file entry:
String serialdevice             "serialdevice"    (gGF)    { serial="/dev/ttyUSB0"}

The device:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Apr  5 07:07 /dev/ttyUSB0

This is running on ubuntu 13.10.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Kirk

Any ideas?  I'm kind of stumped.  I wrote a simple java file and was able to get the data I was looking for however when using the serial binding I get this error.  The only thing I changed in the binding was the speed because my device only works at 115200.

I had the same problem and launching the OpenHab server with `sudo` did the trick! The /var/lock/ directory has root perms and the lock file couldn't be created...
