okay, I've been looking somewhat further and made some progress.

I've hacked the pilot-link usb.c file, and now I can use "pilot-xfer -l
-p usb:", I've never been able to use this before, and it works now
every time, so that's definitively a progress, hooray :-)
I'll attach my patch. Please notice that this is a very ugly hack and
will break support for other devices in pilot-link, but it's just a
test. Other z22 users, please try and report...

Now so far for the good news, gpilotd is still not working. It's now
already doing something (spitting out the same "USING NET" messages as
using visor), but still no sync...

Regards,
Tom
