My KPilot sync well with visor/devfs
here is the log:
19:01:03  Could not open device: /dev/pilot (will retry)

The daemon will keep on querying the /dev/pilot(a symbolic to /dev/usb/tts/1, 
in my case) and when it's available, the sync process will go. What you need 
to do is grab the dmesg to see weather the visor module workes or not, and 
provide the kpilot with the right parameters.
