I think these are actually two different problems.
The originally reported problem was under Windows, and I would suspect a cable, connector, or USB-to-Serial driver issue.
The problem in the post above under Linux is probably a port assignment issue: is that cable really on port /dev/ttyUSB0, and does the application have access to it?
Anyhow, perhaps one of the following documents might help:
CableGuide
CableGuide FTDI OEM Cables
