gnome-pilot crashes Treo 650

[John Leidel <john leidel gmail com>]

Hey all... I've been working for quite some time this afternoon trying
to get my Treo 650 to sync with Evolution via gnome-pilot.  I finally
have the Treo appearing as a device at this point.  [/dev/pilot]

I performed a success manual backup of all the pilot databases using
pilot-link [pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -b ~/MyPilot]

Now... I'm at the point where I'm trying to set things up with
gnome-pilot.  For some reason, every time gnome-pilot attempts to
transfer data to the Treo, it forces a hard reboot of the Treo.  My
configuration file [/home/john/.gnome2/gnome-pilot.d/gpilotd] is as
follows: 

[General]
sync_PC_Id=487771983
progress_stepping=5
num_devices=1
num_pilots=1

[Device0]
type=1
name=Cradle2
device=/dev/pilot
speed=57600
timeout=2

[Pilot0]
name=MyPilot
pilotid=1000
creation=0
romversion=0
pilotusername=John Leidel
basedir=/home/john/MyPilot
john e521:~/.gnome2/gnome-pilot.d> pwd
/home/john/.gnome2/gnome-pilot.d

My system details: 
opensuse 10.1 x86_64
evolution 2.6.0
pilot-link 011.8
gnome-pilot 2.0.13

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.  

cheers
john
