I was able to get the Garmin Forerunner 305 to be correctly recognised by using a different USB cable from the one that came with the Garmin. With the original cable I get messages like I posted above, with a different cable the device gets correctly recognised. If you see this sort of things it is worth trying a couple of USB cables, even if the one you are using works with other devices or other computers.
