Changing permissions on files that only exist during USB operation

Oh, I see. Yes, the Palm Pilot is set to 57600 and automatic flow.

System rebooted, and yet still it's coming up with the same error.
However, now that you've convinced me that it's probably not a 
permissions issue, I've been wondering if maybe I'm just not 
understanding the set up.
For example, I thought gpilot was necessary in order to have connection 
to the Palm Pilot. But should I be running either Jpilot or Gpilot, or both?
Also, what I've determined about Jpilot is that the error comes up 
before I hit the sync button on the Pilot. But then when I hit the sync 
pilot on the Pilot, and return to JPilot, it can't find the Pilot. I've 
tried finding clear online documentation, but I can't determine what I 
would think were some fairly obvious questions:
What's the step by step process for syncing files with JPilot?
Can I install .prc files with gpilot?
Is there a relationship between JPilot and Gpilot, or are they two 
programs for the same task?
