Connecting Palm Tungsten E

D

I was cleaning out my desk and found my ancient Palm Tungsten E device. I decided to try to connect it to my computer. I installed JPilot and plugged in the device. When I activate sync mode, I see this in dmesg:

Code: 
ugen3.2: <Palm, Inc.> at usbus3
uvisor0: <Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, class 0/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2> on usbus3

If I tell jpilot to sync using /dev/ugen3.2, I get permission denied. Can I mount this device in some way so that jpilot can access it?
 
I did add this to devfs.conf

Code: 
perm /dev/ugen3.2 0666

here is the result of [CMD="ll"] /dev/ugen3*[/CMD]

Code: 
lrw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator     9B Jan  1 18:48 /dev/ugen3.1 -> usb/3.1.0
lrw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator     9B Jan  1 18:48 /dev/ugen3.2 -> usb/3.2.0

ugen3.2 is a link to usb/3.2.0, so I also tried adding this to devfs.conf

Code: 
perm /dev/usb 0776
perm /dev/usb/3.2.0 0666

However, doing [CMD="ll"] /dev/usb[/CMD] gives permission denied still. I tried this [CMD="sudo"] chmod g+x /dev/usb[/CMD]

After doing that, then doing [CMD="ll"] /dev/usb/3.2.*[/CMD] yields:

Code: 
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator    0, 186 Jan  1 19:59 /dev/usb/3.2.0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator    0, 188 Jan  1 19:59 /dev/usb/3.2.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator    0, 189 Jan  1 19:59 /dev/usb/3.2.2

But jpilot then gets

Code: 
pi_bind error: /dev/ugen3.2 Invalid argument
Check your sync port and settings
Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_BIND
Finished.
 
I think I got it to communicate with the device. I had to tell jpilot to use "port" usb:3.2

It seems to be communicating with the device, though I haven't been able to sync to it yet.
