Here's some of that debugging data... I created /tmp/sync and did a  
single sync of a calendar item with Reminder from Kronolith to PPC,  
and I think I see the problem.  It appears that the Reminder (and  
Attendee, but I don't care) data is getting lost in the vCalendar to  
SIF conversion (from data.txt):

I added newlines to the converted output so it would look better in  
this email.

It appears that at some point the Funambol plug-ins learned to send  
and accept vCalendar and vCard data as well as SIF.  I have vCard and  
vCalendar set as the data formats for Contacts and Calendar in the  
Advanced settings of the plug-in, so it is sending these formats  
(appears to be vCalendar 1.0) to Horde.

As for the Attendees data, the Funambol plugin itself seems to be  
botching that.  There is no Attendee data at all if it sends in SIF  
format, and in vCalendar format it appears to be corrupted.

Would using the Synthesis client solve my problems here?  I would be  
testing it now except my demo has expired. :-(
