Hotsync Manager on Palm Desktop 4 is a carbonized application that cannot handle multiple disk partitions. You can neither HotSync nor edit the conduit settings unless the conduits and the user data are on the same disk partition. The unfriendly error message complains "You do not have sufficient permissions. See your administrator."
If you like to keep user data on a separate partition (sysadmin 101 stuff), you can still fool the Hotsync Manager as follows:
% cd ~/Documents ; rm -r Palm ; ln -s /Users/Palm Palm
