I had similar problems with an AVR32 running as a CDC device. It turned out to be another program grabbing the port - a modem manager (from memory). I used synaptic to find and uninstall it. I've also read the ACM driver is buggy. I blacklisted it and use the general serial device driver. I found most of this on google.
