 including new notes and new categories.  When a hard reset doesn't
 even work, what can I do next?

I've been trying to figure out just that same thing.

I haven't been able to get it to work.  I'm planning to try
SyncTogether from MarkSpace.  The current beta is apparently Leopard
compatible.

Some day .Mac syncing won't suck.  I hope I'm still alive to see it.

Write barebones support, they have a procedure that will fix the  
problem.


My experience with Sync and Yojimbo is that it works, and works well,  
most of the time. However, I've had several incidents where the sync  
failed, and left the entire process so corrupted that Apple's reset  
function was unable to reset the mechanism. I've thrown so much time  
down a black hole with this, its sad. The fix that Bare Bones provided  
has worked, but it allows very little leeway - follow it to the letter.


Good luck,

P.S. While I was able to use sync successfully for nearly a year, I've  
had enough problems with it that I dare to suggest that its not  
especially robust (on Apple's end, not Bare Bones) for large data  
sets. My library was several hundred megabytes, and while incremental  
changes over time worked flawlessly, a full reset would always time  
out on re-upload. My DSL upload speed isn't especially fast, so that's  
certainly part of it. I've chosen to use Yojimbo sync for smaller  
items, and have moved larger mobile data sets to a keychain flash  
drive. Its not as elegant, but then neither is wasting hours trying to  
troubleshoot broken sync sessions.
