Description Jan Wildeboer 2008-03-26 12:58:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

When syncing to/from Evolution the following happens:

- Calendar does NOT get synced after successfull initial sync
- ToDos do NOT get synced after successfull initial sync

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-pilot-2.0.13-16
gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.13-7.el5

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect your Palm, Treo, Centro
2. perform hotsync
3. notice errors in output
  
Actual results:

- Calendar NOT synced
- ToDos NOT synced

Expected results:

All synced

Additional info:

Remember: The initial sync will work. The problem occurs on subsequent syncs.

Seems to be a known issue for a long time according to

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316370

And other sources. The suggested workaround (use same timezone on PC and Palm)
does not work in my case (I am using CET, Europe/Berlin as timezone)
