Hi Craig;

I tried the instructions from your final solved post with no luck. I can make 
the node ok but pilot-xfer complains that no port for -p was provided even 
though I supply /tmp/pilot for the -p.

Here's what I get :
pilot-xfer  -L -p /tmp/pilot
   No $PILOTPORT specified and no -p <port> given.
   Defaulting to '/dev/pilot'
   ERROR: No such file or directory (2)

   Error accessing: '/dev/pilot'. Does '/dev/pilot' exist?
   Please use --help for more information

Also, I am still trying to get the udev bit to work. Here's some more info, 
maybe someone can point me in the right direction ?

==========================================================

my /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-visor.permissions file has this content:
ttyUSB1:$local:uucp:0660

my /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules file has this content:
BUS="usb",KERNEL="ttyUSB[13579]",SYMLINK="pilot"

my /usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml file contains these palm related etries:
<!-- Handspring -->

<!-- Handspring Visor and Treo 300 -->
<device vendor_id="082d" product_id="0100" use_net="false"/>
<!-- Handspring Treo -->
<device vendor_id="082d" product_id="0200" />
<!-- Handspring Treo 600 -->
<device vendor_id="082d" product_id="0300" />
<!-- Treo 650 -->
<device vendor_id="0830" product_id="0061" />

I've been trying to run gpilotd-control-applet (which is the gnome-pilot tool 
in evolution)
I bring up the tool and for the cradle settings I set the following:
Port: /dev/ttyUSB1
speed: 19200
Timeout: 30

I select the USB selection for Type and click forward.
Then I check that I have not sync'd with this device before and enter a 
username for the device
after I choose forward I see the message "About to send the following data to 
the pilot:
Username: kkempter
ID: 500
Please put pilot in cradle (/dev/ttyUSB1) and press hot sync button

I press the hot sync button and here's what I see:
via a tail -f /var/log/messages I get this:

and I ran an ls -l /dev/*USB*

crw------- 1 kkempter uucp 188, 1 Nov 15 12:50 /dev/ttyUSB1

It seems that the permissions for the USB1 device are not as expected.
However I'm not sure that this is the issue since I don't see any error 
messages in /var/log/messages.

At this point the device tries to connect to the desktop and eventually times 
out.
The gnome pilot tool seems unaware of any pilot activity - it just hangs there 
waiting
until I cancel. The tool was run from the command line and I see this output 
however the entire listing shows up
immediately upon starting the tool. None of the info is new once I press the 
hotsync button on the treo 650.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer...
