The problem Giulio is that when you first plug a Blackberry Pearl into a linux machinethe device identfies it's self as usb id 0x0006 which means the device is in 'mass storage device only' mode and doesn't have all the features needed to use the btool functionality. bcharge on the other hand will work with either. The solution it seems is to get btool while probing to look for a blackberry pearl in MSD mode and switch it to full mode without going to the trouble of having to run bcharge; in fact I would go so far as to suggest creating a seperate application for doing this action and putting a modification in the hal so when ever a pearl is plugged in it's moved to the duel mode every time, this I think we should do outside of the barry distribution (it's more of a hal/udev/kernel thing anyway) since we don't want to _require_ people to install barry to get their pearl to do sane things with the usb stack. (I'd also suggest putting bcharge in hal too, but that's a personal request) I think it would be important to support the hardware and detection side of barry in conjunction with hardware layers so we can concentrate on getting the syncing and other services support working as it's own thing which simply depends on the system sorting out the RIM mess for us.
