I've had similar problems after which I tried multisync. Because I was
never really happy with it I gave gpilotd another try. That's what I
did:
- I had all the important data already in evolution
- then, I deleted contact, databook, and todo database on the pilot
(using Zcatalog)
- then, open DateBook, ToDo, Address to recreate (empty) databases on
the pilot.
- go to the evolution conduits, select copy to pilot (on all the
conduits)
- sync

After that, synchronization (in both directions) worked again (and is
still working).

hope this helps,
Hp.
