I haven't tried JPilot, though, gpilot isn't bad as well.  I have got my
palm syncing all the time, with evolution+gpilot.

Would you mind trying the following?

1) Kill any running "gpilotd" instance.
2) Run "gpilotd" from a terminal.  This way you can see debug messages
on the screen.
3) Configure EAddress conduit the way you want and make sure you don't
have other non-evolution conduits enabled for syncing.  This is to
narrow down the issue.
4) Mail us the result with the screen dump. (of gpilotd).
5) (Note:- Exchange addressbook/calendar syncing has some issues that we
are trying to resolve, so, use some other addressbook for this testing).

HTH,
