Yeah, the udev model (where device files are present only when the
device is online) is a pain with brain-damaged devices like palm's usb
support.
Palms are only actually connected to the USB bus when you push the
sync button. So when it is trying to sync is the only time the device
file would be there. Linux palm software has not been updated for
this new reality (it would need to watch udev/hal for the device
creation as the signal to connect and try to sync).
I have reinstalled hal and dbus twice with no change. Once with an
apt-get --reinstall and another where I first removed, then installed. I
will try to reinstall udev this time.

Yeah, it looks like hal's behavior here is, if not correct, then at
least what it always does.
What is in your 'ls /sys/class/tty/ttyS*'?
Do you have stuff in /lib/udev/devices/ ?
If you want to know where those extra device files are coming from,
you can set udev_log="debug" in /etc/udev/udev.conf and then restart
the system and look in the syslog.
Otherwise, just reinstalling udev should probably do it.
