OK. FWIW, it was failing when there were identical entries in Turba  
and on the Treo.  Too make matters worse, the address book would sync  
up to the point the duplicate entry was detected, but the downloaded  
data was not rolled back, so no matter how many times I cleaned up the  
Treo's copy, it was corrupted again on next attempt.  I finally just  
had to completely erase the Turba address book (by  moving the entries  
to a new address book), then clear the SyncML client's erased items  
cache and then sync...geez.
I understand the need for no importinng duplicate entries like this,  
but is there a better way to handle it other than just fail?

Thanks,
mike
