Now isn't that a nice, informative message? :)

visor will be reloaded by udev when you attempt a sync, unless it is
blacklisted...

See: http://code.pilot-link.org/README.libusb

Another data-point: I tried using the applet 'restore...' function
today, with a non-blank pda.  It didn't do much, and I noticed that the
restore requests pile up in ~/.gnome2/gnome-pilot.d/queue.  Not sure
what's going on... the corba/glib/signalling layers in gnome-pilot are
truly byzantine.  Not my favourite code.  To be honest, I haven't yet
found the gnome-pilot code that calls into pilot-link for restoring
files!  I don't have much time to spend on this at the moment, but I'll
see what I can do.
