Do an Advanced Rebuild of Entourage, and/or a reset on the Clié. It sounds
like there's corruption somewhere. I sync fine between Entourage and Clié
using Missing Sync (and for that matter, I used to sync fine using an old,
rare version of Palm HotSync that allowed it. You won't be able to sync to a
Clié using the current version.) Your problems are unlikely to have anything
to do with with the sync engine, or even the conduits, but rather with the
data.
