The error message you reported ("Check your configuration, as you
requested old-style usbserial 'ttyUSB' syncing...") is specific to
gnome-pilot, so I presume you are talking about some other error message
if you got the same error messages from JPilot?

What version of pilot-link do you have installed?

Can you confirm that you did try using "usb:" instead of "/dev/ttyUSB0"
or whatever?

Can you try 'pilot-xfer -p usb: -l' from a terminal window?  What
happens?
