./ax25.up is supposed to enable/configure the ax25 interface so that
Xastir or any ax25 capable application can use it.  If you already
have Xastir running with a device port "up" that is using
/dev/ttyUSB0, then "/dev/tty/USB0 already in use" is exaclty what I
would expect to see.  You have to run the ax25up script first before
attempting to use the interface with Xastir or anything else.  Also I
woud take aprsd out of the equation and get things working wtih Xastir
first - easier to troubleshoot with 'View - Incomnig Data", etc.
