Claudine,
I have never had a database go out of sync unless one of two things happened...
1) An abnormal exit such as a power loss, tripped over power cable, etc. or
network related exit such as switch problems or a cable coming unplugged.
2) VPN's might frequently cause sync problems. If you are running over a VPN, I have seen the files get a time stamp difference during normal exit. I believe the RB1 file gets closed last and sometimes a delay in the VPN seems to cause it to get a slightly later date stamp. I have one case where a database gets accessed via an ODBC connection over a VPN and I see the sync problem occasionally with no other apparent errors or problems.
So if you have anything running over a VPN, I would bet that may be where the problem lies. If not, then you probably have a bad network component somewhere.
