Is the bit still toggled to on? Has it magically changed back? Might
sound like a dumb question, but the DatebookDB is a bit "magic" as it is
created on the fly by PalmOS as a backwards compatibility access to the
ContactsDB-PAdd database.
I don't have a device to hand, but I suspect there is something on the
Treo that lets you mark which databases to exclude from backups.

Well, I'm just saying that the log messages indicate gnome-pilot is
deliberately ignoring those databases and not calling the
address/calendar conduits as a result.
The error messages about not reading the system info may or may not be
significant, but I doubt it given that the memo sync is working fine.

You're welcome. I'd keep looking for PDA-side specification of which
apps to sync.
