That's a separate issue, related to how KPilot gets very confused sometimes 
about what is going on.

Didn't work as in it gave the same "Conduit Addressbook could not be executed" 
message?

It might have been broken in 4.4.7, but if you set the username with jpilot 
then kpilot should at least have found that changed name.

Unfortunately the really interesting stuff comes from the daemon -- sorry, I 
should have said so earlier. Stop the daemon. Run it from a konsole with 
--debug 1, then do a hotsync (the kpilot application itself really isn't 
needed, it's just a clumsy viewer).

The trace does show totally whacked out categories, that's for sure.

You know, this looks like a hard problem to track down, since your system is 
behaving totally different from what I expect -- or what I see locally. And I 
really don't have much time to help figure out what's going on, so you are 
very much left to your own ingenuity on this one.
