If you don't have some version of MH already on your system,
apt-get install nmh.  Now inc will be in /usr/bin/mh.  Either add this 
to your path or use the full pathname in the script below.  I am
reposting in case anyone else is interested.

 #!/bin/csh -f
 # Convert RMAIL file to mbox, then to mh, then transfer to pilot
 # KAJ
 rm ~/Mail/tmp/inbox/*
 cat ~/Mail/RMAIL | formail -Bs > ~/Mail/rmail.mbox
 inc -file ~/Mail/rmail.mbox
 pilot-mail -p /dev/pilot -m ~/Mail/tmp/inbox -d file

This assumes the following line in ~/.mh_profile:
Path: Mail/tmp

The script translates BABYL->mbox->MH->Palm, you may of course leave
out the first step if you already have your mail in mbox format.

I think some things have changed in pilot-mail in more recent versions.
I still use pilot-link 0.9.4 and it works fine for me.
