Yeah, I like those kind of problems too. :-) But why was I seeing no traffic with tcpdump when I selected FTP? I think there are two possibilities. I think the likeliest (not knowning the code) is that there is a little if statement that says something like if transport = ftp and port != 4242 then nevermind. The other possibility is that I installed MultiSync (0.81) on Mandrake 9.1, and I had to get a bit creative with the install. So that might have dorked something up. *sigh* I guess it's time to upgrade again. :-)
On a related note, since I was able to use the old PIM, do you know of anybody that has figured out what opie packages are need to replace the existing sync stuff (old ftp servver on 4242, etc) and roll back the clock so to speak? I'll probably try to figure it out here pretty soon, because even though I have no intention of syncing with windows, by god I ought to be able to if I ever want to! ;-)

This is the kind of problem I like - it gets resovled before I read any of the emails :)
Normally you do not have to install an FTP server - Opie comes with one that runs on port 4242. I still test the FTP functionality (I sync woth one of my machines with FTP, the other with SFTP) so it does work. Assuming you installed and confiugred a 3rd party FTP server correctly and set up the Opie plugin in multisync to match then I don't see why it shouldn't work. One possible problem I could see is that QCop still requires you to use the default root password (it isn't hooked up to PAM except for the latest Opie HEAD) while your FTP server might have required the actual root password to be used.
