 I have tried under both jpilot and pilot.  
 I have received the message:
 Warning (gpilotd)
 Unknown pilot- no pilots matches ID -1073745932
 Use gnomecc to set pilots ID
 
 Whats that?  How do I get there? 

gnomecc is the Gnome Control Center. It is available in the Mandrake
menu, or from a shell just enter 'gnomecc', you will then be able to
adjust your Palm settings in there.

 After nothing worked, I tried
 ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot
 as root.

You can adjust this setting in the Gnome CC and then use /dev/pilot
without the symlink you created.

 Any advice would be appreciated.
 yea, I'm a newbie :)

Make sure the gpilot dameon is running, and nothing else (no jpilot, no
kpilot). To do that enter ps -ef | grep pilot in a shell and make sure
the only output is about gpilot.

Then from the gnomecc (or from Evolution - Tools - Pilot settings)
edit the pilot settings and hit get from pilot to get the pilot ID.
Then set some conduits to enable synching (for example EAddress will
synch your contacts with Evolution - you'll need the Mandrake packages
gnome-pilot-conduits and evolution-pilot).

If you're still in trouble, stop gpilot (and make sure it is stopped)
and try invoking pilot-xfer from a shell:
pilot-xfer -p /dev/usb/tts/1 -l
(it will list the files on your PDA)

Good luck,

I had to chmod the device port (in mycase the serial I/O) so that I could read 
and write it.

Never argue with an idiot.

They drag you to their level and then beat you with experience.
