Strange problem with gpilot

[Derek Chen-Becker <derek chen-becker org>]

Hi,
    I tried setting up gpilot on my RH9 box today, and when the setup 
druid gets to the cradle config, I get an error popup that says:

"Failed sending request to gpilotd"

before I even get a chance to sync. If I run the program from the 
command line this is what I get:

Message: No pilot userid/username information located
Message: Unable to load pilot id/username, assuming unset
Message: No pilot cradle information located
Message: Unable to load pilot cradle info, assuming unset
gpilotd-Message: Initing gnome vfs

Is there a better way to trace this and get more info from it? I'm 
somewhat familiar with CORBA, so my reading of this is that there is 
some ORB problem, but I could be way off. I'm using a serial cradle 
(/dev/ttyS0, 56000, delay 2). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Derek
