how about pilot-xfer -l? If that works, you know pilot-link is doing its job... however, this is all terribly buggy territory and has been for years and probably isn't going to get unbuggy any time soon. pilot-link usually works pretty well, note that it's up to version 0.11.7 now. Programs that work closely with it like jpilot work. gnome-pilot and kpilot are generally not likely to work reliably.
