One, i screwed you up.
/dev/ttys0 is not the same device as /dev/ttyS0
        ^                                    ^
Sorry about that.  As punishment i'm going to use vi for a week.

Two, you're using devfs which is why ttyS0 is in fact a link to /dev/tts/0
None of my machines use devfs but it seems to me /dev/pilot should be a link
to /dev/tts/0   (you could link it to /dev/ttyS0 too, but it'd just be
another link to follow.)

Assuming it's available, pilot-xfer is useful to verify that you've got
things set up correctly: 
	$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/tts/0 -l
# -p is for port, -l is list databases on the palm

Although if kpilot runs as a daemon you'd probably have to shut it down
first...
