Edward,
> Make sure you have pressed the hotsync button first[
Actually, I mentioned this in my first post:
"Further, I'm led to believe that there should be a ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 
file created in the /dev directory when I press the sync button on my 
palm. I don't see them there."

But, to do as you suggest:
dave@example.com:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB{0,1}
ls: /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
ls: /dev/ttyUSB1: No such file or directory

This is obviously a rather critical problem.
But what's the deal there, because according to the following output, 
the Palm Pilot is, indeed, on ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1:
