As I recall, the gnome hotsync relies on a (user-space) daemon running
in the background.  That daemon was very prone to dying, requiring me to
continually restart it.  Long time since I used Gnome, mind you.

Try using the pilot-link utilities directly, to see if they are working.
They're command line utilities and the one you want for sync and backup
is pilot-xfer
