[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Duplicates - addresses from Palm Desktop and Events/Tasks from iCal

Ok this has really got me.

I just upgraded to MS 5 hoping that it would resolve this problem. I  
suspected iSync to the culprit. But I'm still having the problem now  
that iSync is not being used.

I sync my Palm Desktop contacts to my Tungsten C via the Palm  
"Address Book" conduit. This is stored on one computer.

I sync my iCal calendars to the same Tungsten C via the MS Events and  
MS Tasks conduits. This is on another computer.

Every time I go back to sync addresses after syncing calendars. I get  
an error that any contact which has been edited (on the first  
computer) has been modified by both the handheld and the desktop.  
Except it has only been edited by the desktop. Any time I edit a  
contact then sync, after syncing to the second computer, I get a  
duplicate.

The calendar side works great. The duplicate addresses are really  
frustrating.

The duplicates are easy to distinguish because one of the duplicate  
records won't have the info for the fields the Tungsten doesn't  
support such as Division.

Do either the events or tasks conduits do anything to the contact  
data on the palm to make the Palm conduit think they have been edited  
when they have not?

Any help/ideas on this are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
