It's possible that udev just hadn't created the device yet.  It can take
a few seconds after the hotsync is started before the device files
appear in /dev.  Try creating a script like:

while [ ! -f /dev/pilot ] ; do
    sleep 1
done
pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l

Then start the hotsync and run the script.  Give it up to 30 seconds
before giving up on it.  Obviously, this isn't a long-term solution, but
will let you know whether the sync can work or not.
