Why "local.rules"?  Try "00-local.rules" instead to make sure that file
is read first.

Anyway, it looks like your rules are not matching the device properly,
because of:

No mention of using the local.rules file :(

Are you sure the sda device has a SYSFS{model}="HS-CF" field?
What does:
	 udevinfo -p /sys/block/sda -a
show?

pilot-xfer knows better than to die these days.  Anyway, creating a link
that points to a device node that isn't there isn't going to help
pilot-xfer out any.  This is just the way the hardware works for pilot
devices, sorry.
