Debian woody doesn't have a recent pilot-link or gnome-pilot.  You 
should get least 0.11.7 and 0.1.71 respectively.

I don't know about the 270, but my 300 doesn't sync with gnome-pilot 
0.1.71 either.  A patch sent to this list on March 23 ("Treo 300 
Success!") fixes that problem.

I've backported the newer pilot-link and (patched) gnome-pilot to woody 
(without all of the GNOME 2 stuff in other backports), you can get them 
at http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/evolution/ (sorry, not aptable yet).  I'd 
love to learn whether this solves your problem...
