I believe that -d or -D does not matter.
if the error occurs, you should kill the usbip deamon en restart it with the sudo usbipd -D command. after that it also works for me.
I also tested it on the n900, but that does not yet work. I do get a port 0 attached message, and there is a second USB device when I run lsusb, but when I look in output of dmesg, I see a lot of errors. (bad cable etc. etc.)

Maybe it was because I tried to send a USB stick to the N900, and maybe it lacks the proper drivers. I will try a keyboard and/or mouse tomorrow.
