That's a bit vague...

Is Tools -> Pilot Settings -> Devices -> Port now set to /tmp/pilot ?

If that doesn't work, it would seem that whatever is
in /usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml doesn't match your device since
gpilotd will monitor /tmp/pilot and try to identify that against what is
in /usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml

If you need to check the device, try pressing the hotsync button on the
cradle and then in command line try...
/sbin/lsusb

and see if the info matches an entry in 
/usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml
