Check that you have a device that pilot-link understands on the USB port.
In particular, newer devices like the m50x series need pilot-link 0.10 at
least -- I have no idea what RH ships these days.

You might try something like (off the top of my head):

	pilot-xfer -L -p /dev/ttyUSB0

or perhaps

	pilot-xfer --version

to get the version number of pilot-link. With pilot-link 0.10 and KPilot,
just set KPilot 4.2.3 or later (preferably the version from KDE 3.0.1) to
use your USB port (usually ttyUSB0, but check your system logs to find out
which one is connecting) and things should be OK.

Or symlink /dev/pilot to the device that you're using now.
