gpilotd is normally not installed in any of the "bin" directories.  You
can find it either in "<gnome-prefix>/lib/gnome-pilot/" or
"<gnome-prefix>/libexec/" or just a locate will find it for you.

You don't have to actually change the ownership etc.  

As per your first mail, you have mentioned that you are using /dev/pilot
as your pilot device and that it points to /dev/ttyS0. 

The device node actually gets created at the time of hotsync.  So, I am
not sure whether hardcoding ownerships etc will help.

Does pilot-xfer command works for you on /dev/pilot?

Also, run "gpilotd" from shell and mail us with the "screen dump".
