[sync] [horde] Sync with Funambol SOLVED

[Paul Faure]

Figured out my problem.

I got some debug code from:
  turba/scripts/import_vcards.php
and used it in:
  lib/SyncML/Backend/Horde.php

         } else {
+            $errStr=$suid->toString();
             // Failed import. Maybe the entry is already there. Check if a
             // guid is returned:
             if ($suid->getDebugInfo()) {
                 $suid = $suid->getDebugInfo();
                 $this->logMessage(
-                    'Adding client entry to server: already exists with server id ' . $suid,
+                    'Adding client entry to server: already exists with server id ' . $suid . ': ' . $errStr,
                     __FILE__, __LINE__, PEAR_LOG_NOTICE);
                 if ($this->_backendMode == SYNCML_BACKENDMODE_SERVER) {
                     $this->createUidMap($database, $cuid, $suid, 0);


The above change added this to the log file:

  errstr=[pear_error: message="Permission denied" code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info="3e37b9140457c0f37039de9227cb4915"]


The "default address book when adding or importing contacts." was set to
another users address book, and not mine.
So updating contacts would work, since it was updating them in the
correct location (my address book), but inserting new ones on the server
which originated from the client would give me permission issues.
