I don't know how that could happen. There are two dbm files in the
~/.jpilot/Backup directory named active.dbm and inactive.dbm. When you
move a database from one list to the next in the jpilot-backup GUI, it
updates those records in the dbm files (deleting from one and adding to
the other). The only way it could revert after a sync is if some other
process makes a copy of the dbm files before the sync and replaces them
after the sync.
Try this: move a database from the active list to the ignore list, then
exit the jpilot-backup GUI (just click the datebook button to bring up
the Datebook GUI), then go back to the jpilot-backup GUI. Is the entry
you moved still in the inactive list, or did it revert?
