So far I found pilot-link and jpilot to work for syncing my Tungsten E
(palm os 5) while kpilot couldn't even find it.  Pretty typical kde
application problem in my experience. :)

This is over usb link.  None of my machines have IR unfortunately.

Do you have an IR driver loaded?  As in a kernel module for doing IR.
Utilities alone isn't enough.
