Garmin Foretrex 401 not found

Dear,

I'm struggling to get a Garmin Foretrex 401 to communicate with my PC
(uploading waypoints, routes etc). I'm running Linux Mint Debian
(Debian testing for all practical purposes) with 2.6.39-2 kernel.

Here's what I've tried so far:

(1) lsmod | grep garmin_gps

Comand returns nothing but just in case:

(2) sudo modprobe -r garmin_gps

At this point I connect the device and check if it's recognised:

(3) lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

That's sweet, but:

(4) gpsbabel -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o gpx -F waypoint.gpx
[ERROR] XSERIAL: Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyS0': Permission denied
[ERROR] Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyS0'

(5) gpsbabel -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gpx -F waypoint.gpx
[ERROR] XSERIAL: Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0': No such file
or directory [ERROR] Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0'
GARMIN:Can't init /dev/ttyUSB0

(6) gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F waypoint.gpx
Found no Garmin USB devices.

I've tried running gpsbabel with superuser privileges but get the same
(as in no) results.

FT401 is a pretty esoteric model.  Isn't that of the generation of Garmins that shows up as a disk drive and just has GPX files on it?    Look for it like you'd look for a USB drive.

That's the funny thing - it appears as a usb drive all right. Inside
there's Garmin/GPX/curent directory with two files: Current.gpx and
Position.gpx. Current.gpc has trace and manually edited waypoints in it.

I've tried putting there my own GPX file and overwritting the
Current.gpx with my own. They get written, yet when I unplug the
device I still don't see the uploaded waypoints or routes.

When I plug it back in they're gone, replaced with the old Current.gpx

Put your tracks in /Garmin/GPX/
