I'd suspect the issue is more with the Palm OS version.  pilot-link (the
utilities and libraries used by LINUX applications to exchange data with
the Palm) had issues for a long time with OS version 5 and later
devices.  pilot-link development [around 2005] appeared essentially
moribund,  I don't know if it picked up since;  our response
[OpenGroupware] was just to drop Palm support from our project when
PalmOS 5 shipped.

I'm not aware of a good local syncing solution.  I'd recommend taking a
look at Funambol myPORTAL <http://funambol.com/solutions/portal.php> for
an excellent and *real* Open Source [unlike g...] cloud solution if you
are open to that.  Funambol can sync just about anything that has IP
connectivity.
