Is kpilot (or the kpilot daemon) bneing created by the USB-hotplug daemon?
It's not really meant to be used like that. You should start KPilot, and
then hit the hotsync button yourself.

That's odd, since traditionally the pilot devices have created a device 0
for general use and a device 1 for hotsync use.

Reverting to /dev/pilot is a known bug. You could configure your USB demon
to ln -s /dev/whatever /dev/pilot so that KPilot, which sits there trying
to open /dev/pilot, latches on to the right device. One additional prolem
might be that KPilot tries every second, and some pilots / OSses are
snippy about timing.

That's snippy timing.
