Try the following:
brltty -d ttyUSB0
And BTW.: There seems to be a bug in the brltty.conf file:
braille-device usb:nnnnn
does not work. If I've understood the comment well, one has to write:
braille-device usb:ttyS0
in order to use a USB2Serial adapter on S0. But this doesn't start up the braille display.
