[jp] Sync problems - new developments

Hi Jason,

Thank you for trying to help too!

When I did grep jpilot-sync /etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules, that produced 
nothing in the terminal, but when I went into udev/rules.d, I found this:

# Create /dev/pilot symlink for Palm Pilots
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*|Handspring *", \
SYMLINK+="pilot"

For the hotplug, apparently there is no such directory:
eamann at eamann-laptop:~$ grep -r jpilot-sync /etc/hotplug
grep: /etc/hotplug: No such file or directory

Any ideas?
