Hello,
I'm trying to get the data on my PDA (calendar, todo, address, memo, PLUS some PRC files for my targus keyboard) from the PDA to a backup directory on my computer (ubuntu linux).

So I did:
pilot-xfer --port /dev/pilot --backup home/jc/pilot/Backup

After I pressed the Enter key, I see this:
----Start of Printout------
Listening for incoming connection on /dev/pilot... connected!

RAM backup complete. 22 files backed up, 0 skipped, 0 files failed.

Thank you for using pilot-link.

But when I check the Backup directory, it's empty. What's wrong?

Version info

I'm using pilot-link version 0.12.2
Build target..: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Build date....: Mar 24 2007 16:12:42

more info

I heard the twaddle-dee sync sound, and the printout says that it created the directory, and it says that 22 files were backed up. But the directory was not made (I had to create it by myself). And there were no files in the directory that I created.
