I wouldn't have expected what I had in 10-udev.rules to work for you.
That is the point of making extra entries into udev.rules - to add
devices that weren't known when the devicelist was made.

I found this info to be quite useful for udev and creating entries for
'unknown' hardware.

It enabled me to simply identify my Kyocera 7135 and point it
to /dev/pilot and it obviously works because J-Pilot and pilot-xfer
programs find it quite easily. gpilotd however - even when told to
connect to /dev/pilot remains deaf. That is my point. 

I was hoping that the evolution experts could understand what was going
on and tell me how to troubleshoot it but I am gathering that the gpilot
stuff in evolution is external - except for the conduits and the fact
that gpilot isn't connecting is beyond the evolution application itself.
