I am using kpilot 4.5.0 with kdepim from kde 3.4-rc1, and I am able to sync 
ToDo's perfectly, in both directions.  I even get the conflict resolution 
dialog if need be.  This is in using my Clie NX70V.

I would suggest that you update to the latest of KDE (or wait a couple of 
weeks before it's officially released) and try again.  kpilot 4.5.0 is the 
most stable and feature-rich pilot sync software that I've seen for Linux, 
and I've been using my pilot with Linux for the last 5 years at least.  =:)

Now, all that being said, there are some problems that have nothing to do with 
kpilot or korganizer that affect them nonetheless.  The most irksome is the 
dependency layer that exists on the FAM daemon, if available (which it is on 
Fedora which I run currently).  The problem is that kpilot does everything 
that it is supposed to do and updates korganizer's ToDo file and Calendar 
file, but korganizer doesn't know about it because the FAM layer breaks, and 
then korganizer overwrites its file since it didn't know it changed.  This 
makes it look like the sync didn't happen correctly, even though it does.  

So, I'd say that your best bet is to update to the latest and greatest 
kdepim/kpilot/kde (or wait ~ 2 weeks) and try it again.  If it still looks 
broken, then try your experimenting without having korganizer running at all 
(i.e. put an entry in, do file | quit in korganizer, then sync with 
kpilot/your pilot, then restart korganizer) and see if the sync was 
successful.

Phew.  Little long-winded there, but HTH.   =:)
