Author problem with Palm TX sync

I did an apt-get dist-upgrade to testing. I have been running etch for as
long as it was available as testing.
My Palm TX now complains warning

pi_bind error: /dev/pilot No such file or directory

Now
jpb@maple:~$ ls -l /dev/pilot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-06-06 10:34 /dev/pilot -> /dev/ttyUSB1

however now
jpb@maple:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1
ls: /dev/ttyUSB1: No such file or directory

what does /dev/pilot bind to now??

Make sure that the visor module is still running after the upgrade. Try:

sudo modprobe visor

And see what happens.
