Hi Jan,

it is the correct log. I am synchronizing from server to client. I setup 
funambol to only "sync"/copy from server to phone as I never maintain 
entries on the mobile (too difficult) and I only sync occasionally. (to 
be honest: I do not fully trust these syncs - so I prefer having valid 
data on horde and maybe partially invalid/incomplete data on my phone 
instead of messing all up for the very very rare use case to adjust 
anything directly on the mobile...

Anything else I can do to help analyzing?

By the way - does anybody know where to find valid x-s4j-sif* sync 
samples? I could maybe hack it into the existing code, but I don't find 
out how it should look like to work...

thanks, Christian
