You can't use pilot-xfer while gpilotd is running. (Though it is OK to
have them both installed!). 
Try this instead:
 gpilot-install-file brainForest.prc

Or, do:
 gpilot-install-file -l brainForest.prc
[note the "-l"]
And it will add that file to a queue of files needing to be installed at
the next sync.

[If you want to use pilot-xfer for some other reason, you can 'pause'
gpilotd using the panel applet's right-click menu.]
