For this to work, you need to have the udev rules installed to send
notifications to the gpsd control pipe on USB attach/detach, and you
have to pass gpsd the argument at startup that says to listen to 
the same control pipe the udev scripts are talking to.

Perhaps you have missed one or more of these steps?
