The T3 uses a database for Memos called 'MemosDB-PMem'; older devices 
use MemoDB. If DateBk5 is looking for MemoDB, then there lies the 
problem. The Mark/Space MemoPad conduit checks to see if the newer 
memopad application exists; if it does (which it does on the T3, T5, 
etc.), then the conduit uses the new database. If it doesn't, it uses 
the old database. If you have an older device which has the old Memo 
application on it, you can beam over the MemoDB database and that 
should resolve the issue.
