[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Contacts synchronisation problem

[Leigh Smith]

I'm now encountering the message when synchronising Mark/Space  
contacts with no other conduits enabled on Missing Sync for Palm OS  
5.0.2 (98):

ISyncInvalidRecordException you referenced the following records (in  
a relationship) but did not actually push them:  
("com.apple.syncservices:0C60E3F4-7B1A-11DA-8E8C-0003931D1452")

SyncClient error. Mingling failed.
OK Mark/Space Contacts with 2 message(s)
Sync completed successfully at 1/1/06 11:58 PM (23:58:36)

The console also produces:

2006-01-01 23:58:03.298 Conduit Manager[19352] ISyncSession  
deleteRecordWithIdentifier: ignoring delete for unknown record  
Ccom.markspace.missingsync.palmos.contacts_3098861718_16536854
2006-01-01 23:58:03.299 Conduit Manager[19352] ISyncSession

deleteRecordWithIdentifier: ignoring delete for unknown record  
com.apple.syncservices:DD140C7E-4F3C-4D3E-A243-5C301F7339C5

This first appeared when a synchronisation with a Treo 650 was  
cancelled. I am running MacOS 10.4.3. This problem reappears on each  
synchronisation and does not update either the Mac AddressBook or  
Treo Contacts. The problem is that the error message reporting the  
records does not give me enough information (in the case of contacts,  
a first and last name) to remove the offending records or track them  
down. I've tried searching on the record identifiers but these seem  
to change on each run so there is no entry in a file to search for.

Any suggestions on fixing the problem? Obviously improving error  
messages in future versions beyond 5.0.2 (98) to aid in diagnostics.  
Of course I didn't catch the problem before adding extra records and  
pictures on the Treo that I'd like to keep (and the Treo seems to  
have no means of exporting contact pictures to it's photos  
application for back up), so simply trying to overwrite the Treo  
isn't yet an option (if that even works).

Thanks
