What are the permissions on /dev/pilot?  What are the permissions 
on /dev/ttyUSB* when you sync?  Also, there are some workaround options you 
might try in kpilot's configuration (General Setup | Device) settings for the 
Zire.  Also, I'd suggest having kpilot try using /dev/ttyUSB1 (or whatever 
FreeBSD calls it) instead of /dev/pilot if you can't get that working 
reliably.

In general, though, if you can't get things working, try taking kpilot out of 
the equation by trying only the pilot-link command-line tools 
(pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l for example).

HTH!!  =:)
