    Hello,
    
    I sent the e-mail to the list below but never received a response.
    
    When I switched from a treo 600 (which worked fine with jpilot) to a tre0
    650,
    
    I have nolonger been able to sync.
    
    When I do a sync I get messages about databses being missing (but they
    seem to be there are my treo.  Also, changes made to the treo do not show
    up in jpilot.  See below for more details of error messages.
    
    It has been more than a month since I have been able to back up my treo
    with jpilot and I badly need some help.
    
    Has anybody gotten the treo 650 working with jpilot?  THe thing has been
    out for at least a year now!

    exists (listed in green), 5k (note, when I use the program on treo, I
    see
    my data).
    
    I remember reading somewhere that the treo 650 had changed its database
    structure, but kept links to the old databases for backwards
    compatibility.  Can't help but think that is related to this.
    
    I just did a sync and got:
    Doing a slow sync.
    Syncing DatebookDB
    Syncing AddressDB
    Syncing ToDoDB
    sync_categories: Unable to open file: Memo32DB
    Syncing MemoDB
    Syncing ExpenseDB
    Syncing Keys-Gtkr
    Fetching 'AddressDB' (Creator ID 'addr')... OK
    Fetching 'DatebookDB' (Creator ID 'date')... Failed, unable to back up
    database DatebookDB
    ReadDBList returned = -1
    Finished.
    
    The funny thing is that for the first time changes to my datebook showed
    up under jpilot.
    
    I then tried another sync and got:
    Doing a fast sync.
    Syncing DatebookDB
    Fetching 'DatebookDB' (Creator ID 'date')... Failed, unable to back up
    database DatebookDB
    sync_categories: Unable to open file: AddressDB
    Syncing AddressDB
    
    And it never got any further.  The treo timed out, saying connection
    lost.
    What's worse, the new data (from treo) that showed up after the slow
    sync, has now disappeared!  It is still on treo though.
    
    I then did a: pilot-xfer --port /dev/ttyUSB1 --backup treo
    
    I got:
       Please press the HotSync button now... Connected
