I have then same problem and was going to post about it. 

In my case I am using Kpilot to sync. It automatically detects the Clie
connected on /dev/ttyUSB0 (It is *not* mounted to /dev/pilot/
automatically) and syncs perfectly the first time. When I try to sync again
the Clie complains that the port is in use by another process and fails.
Kpilot doesn't even know about subsequent tries. 

I tried quitting Kpilot and restarting, but it doesn't sync until I restart. 

Sometimes, after the first sync the keyboard dies as you describe, but I
haven't figured out why it happens sometimes and not others. I haven't had
time to do some proper troubleshooting, but as soon as I do, I will report
back.
