Hi there again! =:)

Okay, this all looks good. Did you make sure to clean up and remove all of
your earlier installations of KPilot? I think I remember that you were
trying to help with the beta/rc source code of KPilot. I don't remember when
I bumped the version up to 5.2.0, but we had bug fixes coming in right up to
(and past) the KDE 4.2.0 tag.

Can you please remove your kpilot packages and then make sure that there are
absolutely no installed KPilot libraries, binaries, or conduits on your
system before installing them from your distribution again? What distro do
you use, by the way?

So, the timeout is because of the ASSERT you list below.

Please open a bug report for this on bugs.kde.org. Also, when you do this,
please add an attachment with the full debug output of KPilot. You can get
this by doing this:

killall kpilotDaemon kpilot
kpilotDaemon --debug=9 > ~/kpilotDaemon.debug 2>&1
... then sync and get the errors you're seeing...
and then attach ~/kpilotDaemon.debug to the bug you file.

If you sync again, does the situation get fixed? KPilot is making sure it
doesn't corrupt your data, and at the end if things aren't sane, it removes
the previous mapping files. When you sync again, it will do a first-time
sync and make sure things are in a correct state.

 Well, you are the first Treo user that I've seen complaining about it, to
be honest, unfortunately. I have a Treo 700p and it has been syncing
correctly.

Anyway, please open a bug report so we can triage this there. But I'll need
to see the full debug log to better help.

Thanks for the e-mail!! =:)
