I have the same timing issues with a Treo 700p, but worse, because if I
don't pause the gpilotd daemon before plugging in to charge (no
hotsync), it infinite-loops.  With pilot-xfer, I need to hit hotsync 1-5
seconds before running pilot-xfer.  This is with libusb instead of
visor, I can't get visor to work at all with the 700p.

If it works on Windows (which I assume it does), then it's not a matter
of your timing being wrong, but a bug in pilot-xfer.  I don't know
enough to diagnose further, but would be happy to provide test feedback
with a Treo 700 if others do...
