Okay, let's get some more information.

Try running gpilotd from the command-line and send us the output:
     1. open a terminal.
     2. remove the gnome-pilot applet from the taskbar (the hotsync
        icon) if it is there.
     3. start gpilotd in the terminal (usually /usr/bin/gpilotd
        or /usr/libexec/gpilotd)
     4. Now do a sync.
     5. Post the output from the terminal to this list.

If you are getting data backed up but Evolution addresses etc. are not
getting synced, then there is some problem with the Evolution conduits.
Either they are not recognised by gnome-pilot, not enabled, not running
at sync time or not running correctly.

Have you  double-checked the conduit settings in the gnome-pilot
configuration applet?  If you have multiple addressbooks, for example,
is gnome-pilot synching with the right one?
