[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Problem with Bluetooth Syncing

I recently purchased a Palm Zire 72, and have been able to successfully
synchronize it via USB to my Power Mac G4/500 (running OS X 10.3.9) using The
Missing Sync for Palm OS 4.0.4. However, nothing I've tried can get Bluetooth
syncing to work. The computer and the Palm are paired together (the Palm sees
the Mac as a trusted device), and the Mac is configured as a PC over Bluetooth
on the Palm and shows up in HotSync as a target. On the Mac side, I've enabled
Bluetooth in the missing sync, and tried syncing with or without the
pda-bluetooth-sync (incoming RS232 serial port in the Bluetooth Serial
Utility) port being defined (I've read recommendations to delete it before
trying to Bluetooth Sync with The Missing Sync). Native Palm Desktop was not
able to sync over bluetooth either. The bluetooth dongle used on the Mac is
the D-Link DWL-122. I've tried everything I can think of, and any ideas anyone
has would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
