I've been away for a while and am just catching up on
gnome-pilot-list...

Apologies if I've missed something earlier in the thread. 
Andrew, have
you tried playing with the timing of starting 'pilot-xfer'
and pressing
initiating the sync on the palm?  In the recent "Newbie
questions"
thread, the user eventually managed to sync his Treo 700p by
starting
the sync _just_before_ running the pilot-xfer command.  This
was with a
libusb setup.

Other than that, Frederic is probably better placed to help
you
troubleshoot problems with a Mandriva distribution.
