Rob, a problem with the treo db is unlikely to be the problem. You  
have a ton of records in iCal that you're synchronizing. They'll get  
through if the timeout doesn't happen, but it is a considerable  
amount of data for a sync client like ours to have to deal with. What  
is your date range preference (in the conduit settings) set to? All?  
Maybe try limiting that a bit and see if it helps; also, set it to  
desktop overwrites.
