Thanks Ken.  Repairing permissions had no effect, but reinstalling  
changed made this particular error go away.  Of course, I still can't  
sync iCal with my pda.  The relevant part of the log now reports the  
following:

It looks like MS keeps trying to do something that is rejected by my  
pda, ultimately leading to disconnection.  Do you have another gem of  
a solution?
