I am afraid I don't understand what you mean by the error being stochastic. But 
it seems to never happen when I run mbsync manually and almost always be the 
case when it is run through systemd.

I have built isync from git master:

mbsync -v gives me:
isync 1.5.0

But I still see the same message in systemd logs.

mbsync.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Failed to start Mbsync synchronization service

What should I do for more verbose error reporting?

Can you kindly point to how? Is there a way of telling systemd to just silently 
ignore these errors?

Thanks very much.
