If you have <use_ssh> set to 1, then you do not need to run gpesyncd
yourself.  That setting tells the GPE plugin to connect to the handheld
using SSH and run gpesyncd.  The GPE plugin will connect to the handheld
using "ssh -l felix 192.168.41.2 gpesyncd --remote" (check it by hand to
make sure it is working).  Any error running gpesyncd should appear on the
terminal where you run msynctool (although it may be hard to see mixed up
with all the other opensync output).

If you set <use_ssh> (and <use_local>) to 0, then you DO need to run
gpesyncd yourself with the --daemon qualifier.  You will also need to put
the IP address of the desktop in ~/.gpe/gpesyncd.allow on the handheld. 
In this case you should see gpesyncd listening on port 6446. But you do
not need to do any of these things if you set <use_ssh> to 1.
