I use exclusively /dev/pilot.  The script is simple:

#! /bin/bash
pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -u /home/ajlewis2/Documents/palm/.jpilot/

I have the line for Palm which came by default with Ubuntu.  I had to 
write my own for Debian. It is like yours.  I took out the one I had put 
in rules in a file which has a line for the jump, camera, mp3player and 
zip drive.

The problem seems to be the hub, but now that I think of it, I had no 
problem getting on the jump/thumb drive using the hub.

I think it is more than just the timing, because the timing didn't 
matter when I was not using the hub this morning.  I consistently synced 
three times in a row by being sure that I unplugged, plugged back in, 
and then hit Hotsync prior to running the pilot-xfer script.

I ran it off the hub many times and only got a sync once.  I tried 
unplugging and replugging several times as well.
