Are you not logged in as root, or is this impossible on a Mac?

Should work at least on a real Unix/Linux; but, again, I don't know
anything about Macs.
And there's one more thing you can do:
Try whether the following command exists:
lsusb
of course with your usb2serial cable connected.
Is it listed? Do you know the exact type of cable?
Can you get sighted assistance for a while, to look in Mac's device
manager whether this cable has been detected at all?
Provided there's such a thing like a device manager on this machine.
