A nice trick.  However, I think by "Category" you mean "Calendar", isn't
it?  Anyway, both the conduits in turn use the same file (since, both
are calendar conduits and whose business logic are same) to write
configuration. This is why you are seeing the most-recent configuration
being selected for both the conduits.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D201167 is a more related bug
to what you seem to be trying with evolution + pilot.  Category syncing
for calendar and contacts are yet to be done.
