Mageia3 doesn't like my Palm Zire 72

[Shlomo Solomon]

I'm trying to connect my Palm Zire 72 (yeah - I know - who uses an 8
year old Palm device?). The following command worked on my old Mandriva
2011 but not on Mageia 3.

[solomon at shlomo1 ~]$ pilot-xfer --list --port=ttyUSB1
   Unable to bind to port: ttyUSB1

The correct modules are installed and the USB connection if functioning
properly. I'm including info from the following commands:
- lsmod
- dmesg (after connecting the USB cable)
- ls -laR |grep ttyUSB1

BTW - It goes without saying that based on the output I'm including, I
also tried similar commands and got the same result. For example:
[solomon at shlomo1 ~]$ pilot-xfer --list
--port=usb-PalmOne__Inc._Palm_Handheld_303056594131363535523158-if00-port1
Unable to bind to port:
usb-PalmOne__Inc._Palm_Handheld_303056594131363535523158-if00-port1


Any help would be appreciated.
