Have you ever synced with that palm?  I have never seen this behaviour,
but I guess it could happen if the ID has never been set on the palm.

If this is the case, you should be able to use the configuration applet
by claiming that the palm has never been used with sync software before.

This message has come from gnome-pilot.  You will have to kill gpilotd
before trying to use j-pilot.
