What causes a module to be "used" and can I find out what is using it?
And is there a way to force a module to be unloaded?
What is happening is jpilot-sync is causing the visor "used" count to
increment which then prevents the modules from unloading:
# lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
visor 10156 0 (unused)
usbserial 18044 0 [visor]
...
usbcore 49760 1 [visor usbserial usbkbd usb-uhci]
# su moseley -c jpilot-sync

^^^^
usbserial 18044 0 [visor]

Or another look:
$ diff lsmod.before lsmod.after
1c1
< visor 10156 0 (unused)
---
> visor 10156 1
# rmmod visor
visor: Device or resource busy
How about coldsync?
I can't get coldsync to work at all. I start it and it sits there and
when I push the hotsync button it tells me to push the hot sync button!
$ coldsync -mb test
Warning: no device on /dev/palm. Sleeping
Warning: no device on /dev/palm. Sleeping
Please press the HotSync button.
