[Opensync-users] SyncML plugin from SVN doesn't seem to work?

[Michael M. <m....@la...>]

Hi,

I followed the guides listed below to set up a system to sync my Sony Ericsson Z520a's contacts and address book:

http://www.opensync.org/wiki/syncml-guide
http://www.opensync.org/wiki/SetupGuide

The software installs went as described and everything appears to be set up properly:

mohr@rosetta ~/opensync $ msynctool --listplugins
Available plugins:
syncml-http-server
syncml-obex-client
file-sync

I set up a group as described in the second link:
msynctool --addgroup filefile

Then I added members:
msynctool --addmember filefile file-sync
msynctool --addmember filefile syncml-obex-client

Then I configured each plugin (phone mac has been removed from output):

mohr@rosetta ~/opensync $ msynctool --showgroup filefile
Groupname: filefile
Member 1: file-sync
        Configuration : 
<config>
        <path>/home/mohr/opensync/myphone</path>
        <recursive>FALSE</recursive>
</config>

Member 2: syncml-obex-client
        Configuration : 
<config>
        <bluetooth_address>00:00:00:00:00:00</bluetooth_address>
        <bluetooth_channel></bluetooth_channel>
        <interface>0</interface>
        <identifier></identifier>
        <version>1</version>
        <wbxml>0</wbxml>
        <username></username>
        <password></password>
        <type>5</type>
        <usestr ingtable>1</usestringtable>
        <onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
        <recvLimit>0</recvLimit>
        <allowLateStatus>0</allowLateStatus>
        <maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize>
        <noPendingReplies>0</noPendingReplies>
        <contact_db>addressbook</contact_db>
        <calendar_db>calendar</calendar_db>
        <note_db>tasks</note_db>
</config>

However, it appears that there is some problem:

mohr@rosetta ~/opensync $ msynctool --sync filefile
Synchronizing group "filefile" 
Member 2 of type syncml-obex-client had an error while connecting: There are no valid USB interfaces
Member 1 of type file-sync just connected
Member 1 of type file-sync just disconnected
All clients have disconnected
The sync failed: Unable to connect one of the members
Error synchronizing: Unable to connect one of the members

Okay, so the problem seems to be that the USB interface isn't working or available (?!):
But the interface is there!:
mohr@rosetta ~/cam $ su -
Password: 
rosetta ~ # syncml-obex-client -u
Found 0 USB OBEX interfaces
Use '-u interface_number' to connect
rosetta ~ # hciconfig -a

rosetta ~ # exit

I am certain that the Belkin USB bluetooth device is functioning properly, as I am able to send and receive files using obexftp.  What have I done wrong?

TIA
