Welcome to the list! :-)

See also the Barry documentation itself:
http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/sync.php
I know it is Evolution specific, but the commands are the same, since you'll
likely be using msynctool. When you get to the plugin of your choice,
ask here and someone may be able to help you with the specific plugin
configuration.

Please try:
lsusb -v
And search for "Research in Motion." Let me know if you find the device
in the list.

That would be working backwards, I'm afraid... BUT it *would* be possible
to create a pseudo-package that depended on all the required packages
to setup Barry and syncing. That is probably what the Ubuntu maintainers
might do if they include Barry in the official distribution.
Ideally, it would be nice to do:
apt-get install barry-all
or something similar, and have the package manager do the work of
finding the packages.
We're getting closer, but we're not there yet. :-)
