Since upgrading to Panther, I've suddenly developed a problem HotSyncing my Tungsten T3 with my Mac via Bluetooth. I keep getting an error, saying HotSync cannot occur because the "port is in use by another application."

I've tried looking at Process Viewer and using "ps -x" in the Terminal to get rid of any apps that could be using the port. No luck. My next thought was opening up the Bluetooth Serial Utility. It's very hard to delete any of the ports because it seems like all of them are "in use" even when turn BT off. Anyway, I've fooled around with this and HotSync Manager endlessly, trying to find a combination of settings and getting nowhere.

Any ideas?
