I assume that script /etc/rc.d/init.d/gnokii-smsd drops the root privilege.
You must find what it realy does and under which user and group it starts
smsd. Then you must look on owner and group of /dev/ttyUSB0.
Then you must find a way how to unify owner or group of smsd and device or
way how to permanently change ownership or mode of device (for example in udev
rules). Consult documentation for your distribution.
