[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] I can not sync my Pocket PC with Address app

First of all here is a list of what i currently can do with Missing  
Sync. I am using the german localized version of Mac OSX 10.4.2.

- I can sync without problems all data between Entourage 2004  
(english version) and my Pocket PC (german version)
- I can sync without problems all data beween iCal (german version)
- No problems so far "browsing" and copying files to and from my  
Pocket PC
- I did not try to install Pocket PC apps so far, no idea if it works  
(but i think it works).

There is only one very important feature that is currently not  
working here. I can not sync Mac Address with the Address Book of the  
Pocket PC.  Here are the final lines of the log showing what is  
happening:

Lots of lines cutted, but it seems to work until the following lines:

For me it looks like Address is not able to import my Address Data  
from Pocket PC for some reason. Entourage is able to process the  
address data from my Pocket PC.

Okay, so here is my story about what i have done so far:

1. Hard Reset the Pocket PC
2. Empty Address Programm
3. Insert Address into Address
4. Sync to Pocket PC without problems
5. Sync back additional address from Pocket PC to Address without  
problem

1. Restore all Data on the Pocket PC
2. Try to sync Address from Pocket PC to Address
3. Does not work

1. Try adding some new data or edits in the handheld, then attempt  
the sync with Missing Sync only the Address Book conduit checked.
2. Does not work

Additionally i tried the following:

1. Hard Reset the Pocket PC
2. Sync all Entourage Address Data to the Pocket PC
3. Enable Sync for Address App
4. Try to Sync the Pocket PC Address Data to Macs Address App

And - it also did not work. So do i really have no chance to get my  
Address Data into Address App on the Mac? The original Data on my  
Pocket PC is from Outlook 2003 connected to an Exchange 2003 Server.  
But it´s funny - syncing with Entourage works fine, only Address does  
not accept any addresses from my Pocket PC.

Please help me :-)
