hmm, indeed it seems it got stuck there, because the rest of the log
doesn't indicate errors at all, so that's the only thing I can think of.
The contacts database was synced, at least that's what the logs say.
Can you please open the U1 preferences applet
(System->Preferences->Ubuntu One) and on the Services tab, disable
'Broadcast Messages Archive? That way, the gwibber_* databases won't get
synced, and so we can check if that was the problem. Then, once we know
what's going on, you can enable it back
