That message is pretty clear. But it wouldn't cause the sychronization  
to fail. It just skips that record.

The one with the uid from that log message. You can search for that  
uid in your database table. Though it shouldn't cause the  
synchronization to fail.

Mobile devices are really lame when it comes to useful error messages  
or even debugging problems. All you can do is to check the wiki how to  
report SyncML problems.

You don't even have a Horde bookmark application installed, where  
should those bookmarks be synched? Beside that, we don't support  
synchronization with our bookmark application yet anyway, see

You didn't set up a VFS backend in your Horde configuration, which is  
necessary for the scheduler script.
