I'm using ubuntu gutsy (jpilot 0.99.9.10)

I am struggling with this same issue. When I hit the sync button on the 
pilot, udev makes these:

 > usbdev2.15_ep00
 > usbdev2.15_ep01
 > usbdev2.15_ep02
 > usbdev2.15_ep81
 > usbdev2.15_ep82

I have no idea which one to point the pilot at.

I don't see any responses in the mailing list, did you ever figure it out?

thanks,
