I found that timing is important when syncing my Z22 with JPilot.  You
have to hit sync right after you activate it on the handheld.  It
helps to have a udev rule to symlink the correct device to /dev/pilot,
so that if it changes, you don't have to update your sync software.
Ubuntu already does this, but I used to have a similar rule before
that.  This is what is present currently, put it in a file (ie.
99-custom.rules) in /etc/udev/rules.d if there isn't already something
to handle this:

# Create /dev/pilot symlink for Palm Pilots
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*|Handspring *", \
					SYMLINK+="pilot"
