Is the bit still toggled to on? Has it magically changed back? Might sound like a dumb question, but the DatebookDB is a bit "magic" as it is created on the fly by PalmOS as a backwards compatibility access to the ContactsDB-PAdd database. I don't have a device to hand, but I suspect there is something on the Treo that lets you mark which databases to exclude from backups. > Just to prove I was not fooling myself through all the iterations, I > enabled the Memo conduit (still not set for backup on the Palm) and > the successful sync output is included below. Well, I'm just saying that the log messages indicate gnome-pilot is deliberately ignoring those databases and not calling the address/calendar conduits as a result. The error messages about not reading the system info may or may not be significant, but I doubt it given that the memo sync is working fine. > Not sure what to do next, but thanks for the help. You're welcome. I'd keep looking for PDA-side specification of which apps to sync.
