I had similar problems.  This is my checklist of things to be working 
before sync works:

lsmod must list visor and usbserial.

/proc/bus/usb must contain files

001  002  devices  drivers

if not,
mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb

then ps must produce an entry for gpilotd,

make sure pilot hot-sync applet is in your panel,

then if dialog pops up, but hangs,

try restart daemon from panel applet.

If this still fails, you should look at ~/.gnome/gnome-pilot.d/conduit* 
which should end in a number matching your pilot-id.

If their is none, then you have no pilot-id.

You may have to re-run the druid to establish one.  Also, look at you 
/var/log/messages file to see the conversation with the pilot for other 
clues.

Hope this helps.
