[Evolution] Sony Clie no longer recognized by gpilotd

[Richard Zach <rzach ucalgary ca>]

I'm having a weird problem where my Clie NR70 is no longer recognized by
gpilotd.  It all worked before I upgraded to Evo 1.4.3, but maybe
something else broke in the last two weeks.  pilot-xfer works fine,
syslog reports the Clie when I press the hotsync button, gpilotd is
"watching the cradle" but just doesn't do anything when I hotsync.  The
pilot setup applet also can't get the SyncID and username from the
pilot.

pilot-link-0.11.5-4.ximian.1
gnome-pilot-2.0.9-0.ximian.6.2
evolution-pilot-1.4.3-0.ximian.6.1

on a RH 9/XD2 machine.

syslog fragment and gpilotd output below.

Anyone have an idea of what I could be doing wrong, or what I could try?

Thanks,
RZ
