I don't know what to say.  I'm not familiar with the problems people
have been having with the lifedrive USB connections, but it could be
that your problems are in line with known issues.  At least if you have
network sync that is a workaround.

This sort of thing usually happens if the ".conduit" files for evolution
are in the wrong place (they should be in the same place as the .conduit
files installed by gnome-pilot/gnome-pilot-conduits.  However, if
they're in the wrong place you shouldn't be getting evo synchronisation!
This combination of symtoms suggests that maybe the gpilotd that is
running is not from the same build as your settings applet, so that the
applet sees one set of .conduit files and gpilotd another.  Is that
possible?

I suggested you send terminal output from gpilotd and
gpilotd-control-applet in my last mail... that would indicate whether
gpilotd is attempting to connect and failing for some reason, or whether
it isn't noticing the connections, for example.
