Syncing between Evolution and SE W800 fails

[ThomasNovin]

I'm trying to sync my address book between my Sony Ericsson W800 mobile phone and Evolution (phone connected via USB).

First I see on the phone that it is sending entries. It goes up to approx 120 and then it stops. Then I can see that it starts to receive. Here the transfer is aborted after maybe 20-30 and I can see on the phone that it says communication is interrupted.

$ msynctool --listgroups | grep W800
W800_to_Evo2

$ msynctool --configure W800_to_Evo2 1

</config>

$ msynctool --configure W800_to_Evo2 2

<config>
  <address_path>file:///home/thnov/.evolution/addressbook/local/1208244391.15329.0@thnov-desktop</address_path>
  <!-- calendar_path>default</calendar_path -->
  <!-- tasks_path>default</tasks_path -->
</config>

Also, if I try to enable trace I just get this:

$ export OSYNC_TRACE=osync.osync
$ export SYNCML_TRACE=osync.syncml

$ msynctool --sync W800_to_Evo2
Synchronizing group "W800_to_Evo2"
The previous synchronization was unclean. Slow-syncing
Error while initializing syncengine: Invalid answer from plugin process

There are however trace files being written so I'm attaching them.

I'm on Ubuntu Hardy so I have opensync 0.22.

Output when I run --sync

Oh, btw, when I enable debug log I also get a crash which apport fetched. This bug was opened on Launchpad.

I tried syncing again. This time the phone received 41 entries before I got the error on the phone. The processes will not end if I don't kill them myself.

$ ps ax | grep [s]ync

If I do strace on the osplugin processes both are looping the same message:
