Dexter,
I was just dealing with the same issue with a Tungsten T3. For grins, I downloaded jpilot and it synced just fine. See if that works for you.
Thanks for the reply! Anyway, the thing is, USB syncing won't even work with pilot-xfer (which is what jpilot uses). My Zire 72 keeps switching USB ports. It keeps disconnecting then reconnecting for some strange reason. Check my pasted /var/log/messages log below. Are you seeing that with your Tungsten T3? Anyway, I am able to sync using infrared. But would still love to get USB working, as IRDA is really slow.

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone else here uses a Palm Zire 72 on FC2? Has anyone successfully connected and used pilot-xfer using a USB connection? I've noticed when "tail -f /var/log/messages" that my Palm keeps alternating connection between /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 and then to /dev/ttyUSB2 and 3. Is this simply a strangeness of the Zire 72? Or something that can be solved somehow in FC2?
Specifically /var/log/messages shows:
