Right now I am feeling like a frustrated idiot ;-)
I am trying to get my Zire 72 to work with my system...
Mandrake 10.0 Official
pilot-link-0.11.8-5mdk
KDE 3.2
KPilot 4.4.0 (kdepim-kpilot-3.2-32.1.100mdk)
I know the USB port works. I have used a camera, a scanner,
and a card reader on the same ports.
Also, this is my third pilot device (but the first Palm USB device).
When I load the visor module I get this message...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I edited the line in visor.h to read
#define PALM_ZIRE_ID 0x0061
to match the vender/product id on the Zire 72
I installed the new visor module; removed the old module from memory
and loaded the new one. I continue to get the same message as above.
I try pilot-xfer and get this...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l
Port not connected, sleeping for 2 seconds, 0 retries..
Device not found on /dev/ttyUSB1, Did you hit HotSync?

I have carefully followed the instructions and troubleshooting tips from
the Handspring Mini-Howto
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices produces this...
