No, not really. That fact that you're able to download from an old 
serial GPS using gpsbabel reinforces the theory that the problem is in 
the GPS Tools plugin. I'm pretty sure it's something funny in the way 
the plugin translates the %out parameter.

Here's another recent report (perhaps you saw it already) of erratic 
problems:
