Chris, the shoestring astronomy page for their gpusb product says "Vixen SkySensor2000 (must use the GPCNV-SS2K guide port converter)". I don't know what a guide port converter is or does, but the gpusb device and the ssag are normal st-4 devices so maybe you need a special cable?
Alternately, if you were to connect the PC to the mount and use the ascom driver for SS2K, it has pulse guiding built in. You wouldn't need a guide cable in that case. You connect the pc to the mount itself, select ascom as the telescope in phd and it will guide through that connection. You could also use that connection to drive the mount from most astronomy applications like the sky etc.
[edit]
Found this on shoestring:
A Converter for the Vixen SkySensor2000
Although the guide port on an SS2K handcontroller looks like an ST-4 port, it uses a different pinout. Now you can purchase the GPCNV-SS2K converter and quickly and easily connect a GPUSB or GPINT-PT Autoguider Port Interface Adapter to your SkySensor2000.
