Sounds like you're not sure which device the adaptor is attached on.
As root, view your /var/log/messages file and make sure that the device was actually detected. If it was, there should be lines indicating which /dev/tty* device it attached to. For example, I have a Keyspan USB-Serial adaptor and I can see the following lines when I load the appropriate modules:
Feb 8 07:13:17 maceva kernel: usbserial.c: Keyspan USA19 converter detected
Feb 8 07:13:17 maceva kernel: usbserial.c: Keyspan USA19 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
Once you're sure which device it's attached on, link /dev/pilot to it and see if that helps any. At that point, try to run
pilot-xfer --list (as root)
If that works, try syncing as root with your palm sync program and if it works, tweak permissions accordingly.
