[Kde-pim] Can't sync Tungsten T2 with Kontact using Kpilot

Hi!

I recently bought a used Palm Tungsten T2 and cannot get it to sync with
Kpilot on Fedora 11.

At first, I only got error messages that said there was no /dev/pilot device
(I can't remember the exact wording - I'll go back to that stage if it's of
any importance).

After some reading, I wrote this udev rule:

   ATTRS{idVendor}=="0830", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0060", SYMLINK="pilot",
MODE="0666"

This identifies the T2 from its vendor and product attributes and creates a
nice /dev/pilot link with permissions that should let me use it. I should
add I tried setting the owner and group attributes to no avail.

Now, I get these messages when I sync (from the kpilot log):

   Version: KPilot 5.3.0 (KDE 4.3.0)
   Version: pilot-link 0.12.3
   Version: KDE 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0)
   Version: Qt 4.5.2

   HotSync Log

   09:50:17 Starting the KPilot daemon ...
   09:50:17 Daemon started.
   09:50:17 Daemon status is `.kde.kpilot.daemon was not provided by any
.service files'
   09:50:20 Trying to open device /dev/pilot...
   09:50:20 Cannot open Pilot port: [/dev/usbdev2.2_ep89].
   09:50:25 Trying to open device /dev/pilot...
   09:50:25 Cannot open Pilot port: [/dev/usbdev2.2_ep89].
   [snip]

This point is where it goes over my head so here I am asking for help. I
don't know if I'm in the right place to ask, but any pointers you can
provide will be appreciated. I will of course provide any relevant
information I may have forgotten.

Thanks,

Dan

P.S. I can probably provide more Tungsten T and T2 for development if needed
