If that is the case then it just reinforces the other point that things are
not very clearly communicated. :P
i had no idea thats what it was doing, i just know that when I put files in
the folder, and have all my permissions correct and all that, everythings
gravy, yet nothing will ever sync correctly. I got the first few to go, now
it just sits there for hours on one file. I cannot find a reliable dialog
about what is happening, nor does the syncing info ever change. its vague
and awkward.
