I'd make sure that there's only have one evolution-data-server running. If an
old 2.2 data server is running, that *might* do it, though unlikely (I'm pretty
sure that evolution 2.4 kills old data servers when it starts and starts the
newer data server).

If you have the applet on your panel, remove it. Then, kill all gpilotd
processes. Next, run gpilotd from the command line. There will be a lot of
output, and you'll see what the conduits are actually doing (Evolution conduits
tend to have a lot of output). When you get the output, post it here so we can
see what's happening.
