I made some changes to the way the sync server works - it is much  
stricter about logins now.  If the userid/password is wrong, it aborts  
straightaway, whereas before it would continue running, but with the  
privileges of user "nobody".  This is OK with the corresponding  
version of the client, since the latest client code doesn't even  
attempt to login if no login credentials are provided.

However, the old client tries to login even if not credentials are  
given.  So this doesn't work well with the new server.  Oops.

I'll work on a fix.  Please try again in a few hours....
