I hope you added channel 1; as well to rfcomm0 in your rfcomm.conf. Mine 
looks like this:

rfcomm0 {
         bind yes;
         device 00:15:4B:11:17:C8;
         channel 1;
         comment "BT-201 GPS";
}

I don't have to issue that. I only use
hcitool cc 00:15:4B:11:17:C8
to connect to my gps. I had to pair it at the beginning. I forgot how I 
did this, never had to use it again :)

Afterwards I start gpsd like this:
gpsd -b -N -D 2 /dev/rfcomm0
