If you use the file storage backend instead of evolution-data-server (evolutionsource=file://...), the path refers to the place where syncevolution stores its files for PIM data. As it is user specific data, a good place would be in the users home directory, like /home/<username>/.syncevolution-data. > Things look like they are working - syncevolution's output looks like a > working sync.

This is correct if you use the file storage backend and not the evolution-data-server storage backend. The file storage backend is intended for a syncevolution server that does not run evolution and evolution-data-server, like a headless server somewhere in the internet.
