pilot-xfer

[Jessica Perry Hekman <jphekman arborius net>]

I am failing to successfully run pilot-xfer:

[jphekman pendaran BrainForestMobile]$ pilot-xfer /dev/pilot -i brainForest.prc

   Port: /dev/pilot

   Please press the HotSync button now...

Wrong packet type on queue

   Error accepting data on /dev/pilot
pi_accept: Connection timed out

When I check my PDA, the program does not seem to have been installed
on it. Note that syncing normally works fine (although I have seen the
connection time out occasionally on a normal sync, i.e., one in which I am
not trying to install something new; I haven't been able to reproduce it,
but theorize it has something to do with the amount of data which has to
be synced).

Some more relevant information:

[jphekman pendaran BrainForestMobile]$ rpm -qa | egrep pilot
pilot-link-0.9.5-0_helix_1
pilot-link-devel-0.9.5-0_helix_1
gnome-pilot-devel-0.1.55-0_helix_1
gnome-pilot-0.1.55-0_helix_1

RedHat6.2; PalmIII with serial cradle.

Any help would be appreciated!
