What distribution are you using? I own an identical iPaq, and it works 
with synce, eighter your distribution is getting in the way (there might 
be a dbus rule somewhere that starts all sorts of tasks when you plug in 
the usb cable & ipaq), or something else is interfering with synce.

If i remember correctly, OpenSync uses synce to do the talking with the 
PDA, so aslong as there is no partnership with the PDA & synce you will 
not be able to sync.
