Problem installing files onto multiple devices

Hi,

I am able to successfully install files using gnome-pilot utility to only
one of my two Treo650 devices, but not to the second device that I had
configured.  I'm using the same USB cradle for both, connected to the same
USB port on the back of the computer (there are several ports on this
motherboard).  I'm running on a x86_64 Fedora 7 machine, with all updates
applied.  I'm using gnome-pilot applet version 2.0.15.    I am able to use
the Backup conduit to backup from both devices into their respective
different directories, so the Backup conduit is working for both devices.  I
am able to drag and drop a .prc file from a Nautilus window onto the
gnome-pilot panel applet icon, connect the USB connector to the first first
Treo650, click the hotsync button, and see the .prc file being installed
properly.  Repeating those steps using the second Treo650 results in only
the backup conduit activating and working, but not the File conduit.

Seeing a previous thread at
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00788.html that
states:

You can also use the gpilot-install-file utility from the command line,

I tried that on the second Treo650 and saw this output when connecting the
second Treo650:

bash-3.2$ gpilot-install-file --now ~/Treo650SyncData/CardExport2.prc
> gpilotd-Message: Activating object OAFIID:GNOME_Pilot_Daemon
> <blink>



where "<blink>" is the cursor blinking waiting for something to happen.  I
pressed the hotsync button, and the second Treo650 synced, but the cursor
stayed right where it was.  After the sync of the second Treo650 finished, I
reconnected the first Treo650, and pressed the hotsync button on the cable,
and wallah, I saw the file being transferred on the gpilot-install-file
output which now reads:

bash-3.2$ gpilot-install-file --now ~/Treo650SyncData/CardExport2.prc
> gpilotd-Message: Activating object OAFIID:GNOME_Pilot_Daemon
> fileconduit-Message: BrentsTreo650 completed 1169078866
> bash-3.2$ <blink>


gpilot-install-file version is 1.0 (as reported from --version command line
option).

There are two different PDAs listed in the PDAs panel of the gnome-pilot
Settings, each with a different Name, ID, and Owner, and I verified that the
Local Directory attribute on both PDA's is unique and writeable by the
user.  Note that the same UNIX user is being used here for both, but that
should not matter hopefully.

Anyone have any ideas as to why the File conduit would be hardcoded to
transfer to the first Treo650 device?  I have not yet tried using two
different USB ports with two different USB cables, but that should not
matter should it?

Thanks!
Brent
