Wayne,
My mistake I should have said udev should be handling it.
The udev rule should be something like:
SYSFS{idVendor}=="067b", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2303", SYMLINK="gps", RUN+="/lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper"
You would have to set the idVendor and idProduct correctly this will create a symlink /dev/gps to your /dev/ttyUSBxxx

What did not work for the databases.
