Hey, you responded to be -devel post too. You're just helpful everywhere!

Anyway, I think I've narrowed down the issue. 

The entries originally in the Palm look like this:

  Last: Doe
  First: John
  ...

But the ones that come BACK to the palm (from the phone, the duplicates),
apprea like this:

  Last: John Doe
  First:
  ...

Which sort of makes sense given that the phone does not have a seperation of
first and late name, it just has "name." Interestingly, entries it gets from
the palm appear like:

  Name: Doe, John

But when the palm gets those back it puts them in as:

  Last: John Doe
  First:
  ...

As I mentioned. How do I work around the difference in name storage?
