First you shouldn't be using usbd.conf.  You should be using devd.conf 
and devfs.rules.

Disable usbd.

Add to devd.conf:
attach 0 {
        device-name "ugen[0-9]+";
        match "vendor" "0x082d";
        match "product" "0x0100";
        match "release" "0x0100";
        action "/usr/local/sbin/pilot-sync-ugen.sh $device-name";
};

Setup devfs.rules if you have yet to do it:
http://am-productions.biz/docs/devfs.rules.php

Add your user to the operator group or change the mode to 0666 below.
Add to devfs.rules:
add path 'ugen*' group operator
add path 'ugen*' mode 0660

In /usr/local/sbin/pilot-sync-ugen.sh:
#!/bin/sh
#
JPILOT=/usr/X11R6/bin/jpilot-sync
JPILOT_USER=your_username_here
export JPILOT_HOME=/home/$JPILOT_USER
PILOTPORT=usb:/dev/$1
COMMAND=`echo $JPILOT -p $PILOTPORT -b`
# run command ie. (sync)
/usr/bin/su $JPILOT_USER -c "$COMMAND"
