Hi!
(Using opensync 0.22, also present in 0.36 according to Christopher Stender, added here on his request. Please also see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.opensync.devel/2576 ff. This bug makes syncing with my PalmOS 4.1 PDA impossible.)
So far, I used multisync to create a test sync group containing palm-sync and file-sync members to experiment with syncing my PalmOS 4.1 device.

If I start with an empty file-sync directory, everything looks fine and the Palm's data is synced to the file store.
However, if I immediately run a second slow-sync, I get tons of the following conflicts - in fact, I have the impression that every single entry synced causes a "phantom conflict" because of "phantom changes" - changes which in reality just do not exist.

Yuck, sorry. :-(
Second try, I hope it's better readable:
