You should be specifying "usb:", i.e. there should be a colon after "usb". 

>and nothing append. When looking at the kernel log file I find

Yes, this is because you haven't specified "usb:" for the device. Thd default
device qualifier, for backward compatibility, is "serial:", so, without the
trailing colon, you're actually specifying a serial device named "usb". Please
try adding the colon and let us know what happens.
