It turned out to be a problem of connection, sometimes when I put the
Palm in the craddle it seems that the connection is not perfect. Taking
the Palm in and out of the craddle at some point the connection
works. 

Very hard to detect since the connection is done, but it seems that
high speed USB is very sensitive to the connection...
