synching sony clie nx60 with evolution 1.4.3

so i followed all the steps on the kreucher.net page for syncing with a
clie, and i'm missing one stupid step i cant remember. i'm running
gentoo linux, 2.6.0-test4 kernel. using evolution 1.4.3 with a sony clie
nx60. i can get it to sync and log into it using dlpsh but...i cant for
the life of me get it to do the initial sync with evolution. i've tried
the killing gpilotd daemon, and restarting it, etc and it just wont
work. it seems everytime i try and nail down which /dev/usb/tts/# entry,
it changes on the last sync. i've had it up to 6 and 7 and i cant get it
syncing. 

snippet from /var/log/messages...

i'm concerned about the usb.agent line, how it cant find modules for the
usb product. its clearly listed in the visor.h file. the usb.agent file
i believe has to do with usb hotplug, which i use with my usb digital
camera which works perfectly. permissions are fine on the /dev/usb/tts
entries, i am included in the group and have rw permissions on the
entries. i've also done everything with the symlink of /dev/pilot and
cant get it to sync with evolution.

any help in this process is greatly appreciated!!

tia,
jeff
