Since I can't even get it to sync now, I won't be able to provide many details,
but here's what I remember:
Set up Pilot Link.  Hotsync (cradle).  Everything copies from pilot into
$HOME/pilot.  Then go to a conduit setting in gnomecc (doesn't matter which
one).  Nothing shows up.  Hit the Hotsync button (cradle).  The dialog shows up.
Change settings on the dialog and hit OK.  Here's where I can't remember if I
need to hit Hotsync here.  Select either the same or another conduit setting.
Nothing shows up.  Hit the Hotsync button (cradle).  Dialog shows up.  (etc.)

Hope this helps,

Dan
