This sounds like either a permission issue or that another program is
using the port.

If it's a permissions issue running the command with sudo should get it
to work. Then you would just need to fix the udev rules.

If you have modemmanager or usbmodeswitch installed that could be
conflicting with uuu. try uninstalling or disabling those 2 and any
other that might do an automatic scan of the USB bus devices.
