I hope I fixed this. Give it another try. At least my 150 test contacts 
synced find now.
BTW: did you manage to "save" the status of the Palm Simulator? For me 
this always results in a crash. I have to start with a blank new palm 
every time I start the simulator.

thanks for the info. Should be fixed in cvs by now.

I know. There's a bit of logging displayed in services/portal/syncml.php 
now.

To debug the wbxml I do something like

for a in *.wbxml; do wbxml2xml -m 1 -i 4 -o `basename $a 
.wbxml`_conv.xml $a; done

in /tmp/sync. This decodes all wbxml files therein to xml.
