Did you try this?:

When the Serial Port Permissions don't allow access to PI_BIND (assume 
/dev/ttyb):

Run commands as root:

1. chmod 666 /dev/ttyb
2. chown root /dev/ttyb
3. chgrp sys /dev/ttyb
4. touch /reconfigure
5. reboot

This is to correct a change which can be made by "admintool" to change the 
permissions, and to set ownder and group to "uucp" and "tty".

If you used admintool to administer the port, this problem gets automatically
produced (although it may produce a different error message) and must be fixed.
