Doug -

the archive of past postings (from about July 2005 onward) to this list on issues regarding your specific question and situation  (Entourage Calendar & WinMo sync ) contain lots of information: successful strategies and areas of problem or caution.  there remain some unresolved problems; most of which are alleged to be related to problems within Entourage (particularly with the latest update to it).

in a nutshell, you may need to put some time into review some  (maybe ALL) of your existing Entourage Cal entries to be certain they are valid or properly entered event entries.  Huh ?!  you may ask.

though many of us never questioned or had reason to believe our existing entries were NOT valid, it turned out there were a number of circumstances or means by which our Entourage files contained invalid or corrupted data.  this was true even when running the Database Utility included in MS Office reported no errors or problems.  For example, all events MUST have a defined  Start AND STOP date.  This was a problem for a number of people with one or more Recurring or Repeating Events. For example, if an event was defined to occur on the 15th of every month you could save that event without Stipulating a STOP date but then this recurring event had problems when trying to sync to handhelds.  Sync can be performed on events which specify a recurring event by numbered-dates (e.g. 7th of every month, every May 23rd, etc)  but CANNOT sync recurring events specified by day-dates (e.g.  1st Friday of every month).  This bug is a major nuisance to a lot of users especially for business and other type organizational events.  @#$%^&

so, in closing,  it's a case of good news, bad news.   you CAN sync Entourage Calendar  BUT there are some issues to be alert for and contend with.  hope this was a help and at least a start for you.
