1st: What are the permissions on your /dev/ttyS1? Should be:
~$ ls -l /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Feb 20 16:06 /dev/ttyS1
2nd: Make sure dialout really is one of your supplemental gids
~$ id
..... 20(dialout) ...
If dialout doesn't appear, re-login and try again. Supplemental group ids
are set on login.
