With this explanatiino, I already can see what the problem is. the -k option 
specifies the key table to be used with your PC keyboard. You're getting those 
errors bcause the PC keyboard has no keys named RoutingKey, etc. For now, just 
don't specify the -k option. Or, maybe, you do want to specify it. If you're 
using a desktop, for example, you may wish to try out -kkeypad. Then you can go 
into kbd-keypad.ktb to see how the kaypad has been mapped. That may help you 
get better navigation while you're working on remapping your Baum keys.

You can't specify the name of the braille device key table which is to be used. 
There is, however, a way you can easily override any of them without modifying 
them. When brltty looks for a data file, it first looks in the ".brltty/" 
subdirectory of your home directory (as defined by $HOME). If the HOME 
environment variable isn't set then it looks in "/.brltty/".

A quick note on how you're specifying the device. Giving the full path to a 
serial device is still supported, but the preferred way is to specify (in your 
case) "serial:ttyUSB0".
