Jpilot is not flying well

[Les]

Hi, guys and gals,
	I have been working on Jpilot for aobut a week.  I have followed
several sets of instructions, and I have been down with the flu, so I
know I'm not hitting on all cylinders...  But at this time I am just
tired and confused.

	I have edited the /dev setup files according to some hints on the
Jpilot.org website, and I have added PILOTRATE and PILOTPORT to
my .bashrc file.  I checked that the device (a Z22) syncs to the windows
stuff from palm and that works, same cable, same computer, same device.

	Process:  I rebooted Linux (Yes, I know that is sooo windows, but just
to get a fresh start).
		Then I logged in, and started my user.
		Next I started a terminal window and used that to start jpilot in
debug mode.
		Then I plugged in the palm Z22
		Then I hit the resync Icon in jpilot.
		I go the the following messages:
	from Jpilot sync window:
		****************************************

****************************************
pi_bind error: /dev/ttyUSB1 No such file or directory
Check your serial port and settings
Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_BIND
Finished

	From the terminal window:
$ jpilot -d
Debug messages on.

           Using another terminal I see:

$ ls -al /dev/pilot

Here is my .bashrc file:
# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions
PILOTRATE=9600
export PILOTRATE
PILOTPORT=/dev/ttyUSB1
export PILOTPORT

I am at my wits end.  Any ideas?  Please...?
