There's a problem with FC3 kernels in the range of 667 < x < 715. Upgrade your kernel to 724, and you should be set. ... If this procedure works for you, reply to the list w/ [SOLVED] in the subject field. There are too may "palm" related (as well as other) emails regarding partial / erroneous solutions and I'd rather not add to that if we can help it.
Michael, the kernel upgrade did the trick. I inadverdently verified this because after upgrading the kernel with yum, I ran pilot-xfer before rebooting. Same problem. I realized that I was still running the older kernel, rebooted, and ran pilot-xfer again. It worked that time. Thanks for the answer and all the advice about the udev configuration files.
