Is it possible that permissions on /dev/ucom0 is causing the failure?
It could be that you as a non-root user is not being able to write to 
/dev/ucom0. /dev/ucom0 is created when you press the HotSync button 
(on 5.x and above).

I've had to add the following lines to /etc/devd.conf to get the
permissions right.

attach 100 {
        device-name "ucom0";
        action "chmod 666 /dev/ucom0";
};

Alternatively, you can "chmod 0666 /dev/ucom0" after you press the
HotSync button before running pilot-xfer or, you can run pilot-xfer as
root.
