Hi Paul,

You didn't mention which version of Missing Sync for Palm OS you're  
using. There is a bug in 4.0.5 that was addressed in 4.0.6 b3 which  
should properly handle the Photos Conduit (called Media in the user  
interface) that comes with the Treo 650. If you didn't install the  
Palm Desktop that came with your Treo 650, you'll need to do that to  
get the proper conduit and then re-install Missing Sync. (Older  
versions of this conduit didn't handle the Treo 650.)

The conduit appears to backup pictures on the Treo 650 to the  
directory you mentioned.
