[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] 1.0.3 didn't work, but 1.0.2 does

[Michael Heinz]

AJ -

I'm the guy who made the suggestion about the permissions. As for the 
firewall, you can actually open a port for missing-sync, so that you 
can leave the firewall running.

1. Open System Preferences
2. Select File Sharing
3. Select Firewall.
4. Click the "New" Button.
5. For port name, choose "Other". For port Number, type 5679. For 
"Description", type "Missing Sync".
6. Click OK and start your firewall. Missing Sync should still work.
