    The virtual names don't (and should not) exist on these newer Palm
    devices. You can put the databases there manually, and integrate their
    records, or find an on-Palm app that requests records from the Classic
    database structure, but they're not there by default.

    Try this: 
    
    1. Using FileZ, delete AddressDB, DatebookDB, MemoDB and ToDoDB from
    your device.
    
    2. Launch Contacts, and make sure all of your contacts are still listed
    (and they should be). 
    
    3. Using pilot-xfer, try to fetch AddressDB.pdb from the device (it will
    fail, because AddressDB.pdb no longer exists). 
    
    4. Try to sync to J-Pilot (Address, Datebook, etc. will fail to fetch,
    as in my example). 
    
    5. Restore those "Classic" databases to the device from your backup. 
    
    6. Repeat steps 2-4, and see if it behaves differently. 
    
    On my device, I don't have AddressDB, DatebookDB and friends, because
    I've never launched an app _on the Palm_ that requested records from
    these on-Palm applications. Launching a desktop conduit (J-Pilot,
    pilot-link's tools, KPilot, gnome-pilot, etc.) that requests these
    databases will fail every time.
