I am going to take a guess that you are using Kubuntu Edgy based on the errors 
you are getting and the fact that you are using "the latest KDE".

If by "the latest KDE", you mean 3.5.6, kpilot should work for you.

First, the errors you are getting have nothing to do with kpilot.  Kubuntu 
made a decision to include every conceivable input device in the X 
configuration.  Everybody without a Wacom tablet who starts a program from a 
terminal gets the errors you are getting.  You can (1) ignore them, and (2) 
file a bug report -- its sloppy configuration and though it won't hurt 
anything, you shouldn't get the errors.

Second, did you install pilot-link as Jason suggested?  There is no indication 
in your message that you did.  Kpilot won't work without it.
