That doesn't sound right at all.

Yes, worked for me too.

In any case, you don't need to create /dev/pilot.  It is created by udev
when the kernel module "visor" is loaded.  visor should be loaded
automatically when you start the sync, but just in case, try:

# sudo modprobe visor

and see what /dev/pilot is set to.
