You are running gpilotd (evolution) with the same username that was
used/owns /tmp/pilot right?

You can open a terminal as that user and run
pilot-xfer -L -p /tmp/pilot
then press the hotsync button and get a list of files on your palm?

If those conditions are true, and you have already verified your device
entry in /usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml, then no, I have no other
suggestions.
