Nathan, thank you very much.  Unfortunately, all of the USB nodes (there are
several) available from the applet's drop-down list generate the same error
message.  By the way, the same is true of the USB nodes available from the
drop-down list in JPilot.

Keeping on eye on Nautilus open to /dev, I notice that every time the sync
button is pressed on the PDA, nodes with very strange names like
"usbdev2.29_ep81" appear in /dev.  The suffix numeral of each new node
increases by one digit with each new press of the sync button.

I'm rather stymied at this point, but I know there's a solution and with the
insight and help of everyone on the list, we'll find it.

Thanks again,

Just to be explicit: what you need to do is to fire up the gnome pilot<br>
configuration applet (either via your configuration menus, or run<br>
&quot;gpilotd-control-applet&quot; from a terminal window).<br>
<br>
Then, under the &#39;devices&#39; tab, you need to edit the port, and where=
 it<br>
says &quot;/dev/pilot&quot; you need to choose &quot;usb:&quot; from the dr=
opdown menu.<br>
<br>
That should be all you need to do, but let us know how you get on.<br>
