Sounds like you're trying to run gpilot-install-file as root from
crontab, and root can't run X applications. Run it as a normal user instead,
or write a script to test for the existance of /dev/ttyUSB1 before launching
pilot-xfer with the file to install.

It can't detect it, because it doesn't exist. This is how USB works,
on every OS in existance thus far. If the device isn't connected physically
(and on Palm devices, that connection is an electrical connection made
between Palm and cradle, not cradle and desktop), then the port doesn't
exist, the kernel doesn't bind the driver, and pilot-xfer can't talk to it.
