Is your pilot configured to be an "USB" device in gnome-pilot ? Make
sure /proc/bus/usb is mounted and, after you pressed hotsync, your
palm/clié/whatever appears in /proc/bus/usb/devices.

I'm not sure usb blacklisting is a good idea on a Mdk system, this is
might disabled some permissions change which at done when devices are
created on the fly by devfs..
