I've got it working on my machine, currently. I've got pilot-link
0.11.3 and jpilot 0.99.2. In addition, I've set the following in my
.bash_profile:

    PILOTRATE=115200
    PALM_ADDRESS_DATABASE=$HOME/.jpilot/AddressDB.pdb
    export PILOTRATE PALM_ADDRESS_DATABASE

PILOTRATE sets the rate at which the palm syncs with the system. The
jpilot FAQ suggests that if you have problems you set it to a lower rate
(such as 9600 or 14400). (PALM_ADDRESS_DATABASE, along with lbdb, 
allows me to use my Palm database as an address book for Mutt). 

If you continue to have problems, you might try removing the pilot-link
and jpilot packages and installing from source to see if the problems
continue. You might also try joining the jpilot mailing list (see
jpilot.org for more info on that).
