Thanks for your answer David! That's what it looks like, but I'm definitely running it as a normal user. Is there a debug mode I could run to see where it fails? And why does it have to open a display, when all it has to do is to launch a daemon?

I realize that, and that's why I want to use gpilot-install-file --later to install my files, although I normally use pilot-xfer -i (when I do it manually, ie not from my crontab).
