I don't see the point in testing with 2007.0, anyway. And also make sure
you have the latest kernel available as update for 2007.0.

This is irrelevant to your initial problem. You should focus on one
problem at a time.

And it should also work in 2007.1.

There is no need to do so. You should revert that.

How about running pilot-xfer -p usb: -l while logged as a user (while
making sure gpilotd is not running) and try to run sync on your Palm and
see what pilot-xfer says ?

And it would be great if you could reply to your emails when you post a
follow-up, so threading is kept.
