[no subject]

Tried the USB route, wrote the udev rules, read the udev docs, but just 
didn't seem to get it.  Ended up hosing up the OS (it was a bit quirky 
anyway, I'm not too impressed with FC4 x86_64 at this point).  So, I 
decided to start from scratch, and loaded FC3 x86 back on the box.  It 
seems to be a lot happier now. 

On to the Palm -> bluetooth.  It's worth noting here that I'm not trying 
it with the Tungsten T5 anymore.  I had a Treo 650 given to me, so I'm 
using that now.  I've got the desktop and the treo paired (thanks to the 
article on linuxjournal.com and gurulabs), but I can't seem to get 
sync.  I'm using XFCE and Evolution with gnome-pilot.  I've also tried 
it with kpilot and jpilot with the same results.  My sync app is setup 
to use /dev/rfcomm0.  When I start the sync app, the palm does it's beep 
thing (sees the connection), and the sync app tells me to press 
hotsync.  I wait for the connection dialog to go away on the palm and 
click on the 'hotsync' button on the screen, but I get an error stating :

"Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by 
another application"

Here's what hcidump reports:

Here are the permissions on /dev/rfcomm0:
crw-rw-rw-  1 nathan root 216, 0 Oct  8 18:07 rfcomm0

Anyone actually got this working?  Got any ideas on what I'm missing?
