it's an issue only if the ID of the Clie that you have doesn't match the
ID listed for the ones that it has

ok - assuming that you have no other USB devices connected...
when at rest (not syncing)
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/pilot
should return nothing - they don't exist
when you press the sync button
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/pilot
should show the devices as configured and KPilot/JPilot should see them
(actually, they are probably configured to only look at /dev/pilot)
if it fails somehow, try running the command (while sync is supposedly
active) to see if they are present.
