This worked once. I didnt have any conduits enabled other than the installer. 
Now I always get this in the kpilot screen:

12:05:44 Starting the KPilot daemon ...
12:05:44 Daemon started.
12:05:44 Daemon status is `not running'
12:05:44 Next HotSync will be: HotSync. Please press the HotSync button.
12:05:49 Trying to open device usb:...
12:06:09 Unable to read system information from Pilot
12:06:09 Could not open device: usb: (will retry)

Thoughts ?
