I'm not on Ubuntu, but the udev rules shouldn't be that different.

So I have something like this:

    [torvalds at i7$ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/91-suunto-eonsteel.rules
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="1493",ATTR{idProduct}=="0030", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="1493",ATTR{idProduct}=="0031", MODE="0666"

which should make the device accessible (the "0031" device is what
happens when you do a firmware update, you don't need it).

And you don't need to give any device node for the EON Steel, since we
just end up using libusb and picking it by device ID.
