Unless you're using them for hierarchical connections, in which case it's the refdes= attribute on the IO symbol that matches a pinlabel= attribute on a pin on the symbol representing the subcircuit. Which is why we have refdes=pinlabel on, e.g., input-1.sym to remind the designer what's going on. The overloading of attributes in gEDA can be confusing... > try inserting one.
