Hi Luis,

Rather than going into all this headache, have you tried deleting the
sync pair from the client, then deleting the clientsync folder from
the web interface and then creating a new sync pair, but this time
giving / as the destination folder in the server?

I just tried and it works. (Server 4.5, client 1.1.0 beta 3)
