This is on 6.0 right? I use a Tungsten E and got caught out by the same thing when I upgraded from 5.4 to 6.0. Under 5.4 you connected to /dev/ucom0. Under 6.0 it's /dev/ttyU0. IIRC this change was documented in the release notes (not that I saw it until I'd spent a few hours head scratching). Now sync'ing fine with pilot-link.
