I did a first shot at this. Try current cvs (update of Syncml module)

Configuration is done by setting the database path in the client device.
I choose this place as it allows you to use different calendars for 
different mobile devices: private calendar for private phone and so on.

The database path is called "server path" in Synthesis. Currently it's 
"calendar", but actually it's an URI now it can use parameters. You have 
to set this to

calendar?source=[calendarid]

Tricky thing is getting the calendar ID. (You've done this already but 
here a description for everyone else:)
You have to go to "manage my calendars" (from the calendars box at the 
top right of the calendar view, /horde/kronolith/calendars.php).
There you select the desired calendar and then horde displays the url:
horde/kronolith/month.php?display_cal=[calendarid]

This is the calendarid you have to set in the client device:
calendar?source=[calendarid]
A bit of fumbly this long hex number, but unfortunately I currently 
can't use the clear text name using the kronolith external api.

Theoretically this should work with other sync types as well (tasks, 
notes and address books). But address books won't work yet 
unfortunately: turba doesn't store the address book source in the 
history, only the owner. So we can't use it for syncing anything other 
than the default source. This has to be fixed first. (Any volunteers?)

But it's a start.

Cheers,
