Over the past month, several users have complained about this same
thing.  I was not able to help a z22 user, but for my Treo 700p and
another's 650, playing with the timing helped.

In particular, try hitting sync on the Palm, then waiting a couple of
seconds, then running pilot-xfer.  For gnome-pilot, pause the daemon
(right-click menu on the applet), then attach the device, then hit sync
on the Palm, then after a couple of seconds, "continue" the daemon (also
right-click menu on the applet) and it should sync.  If you see gpilotd
taking up 100% of CPU, as with the strace log posted here, you probably
attached the device without pausing the daemon; you'll need to killall
gpilotd to get it to work again.

Also, this is with libusb.  I was never able to get visor to work at all
when I upgraded from a 600 to a 700p.  And to get libusb to work on
Debian etch, I not only had to blacklist visor, but had to remove it
from the /lib/modules tree!

I haven't yet had time to get the CVS pilot-link and test further.

HTH, YMMV...
