Like Adriaan says, birthday is a newer database field for the palm databases.  
It looks like maybe you're dealing with this bug?

I know there was a bug reported for this too, but I can't find it.  IIRC, this 
is another "whoops, lookie there, Palm changed the rules on us again".  I 
believe it did not use to be possible for you to create a multi-day 
appointment on previous versions of the palm OS.  I believe Palm changed this 
somewhere in version 5.  I believe that the only way to handle this from 
kpilot's perspective is to do what is right for the lowest-common-denominator 
(i.e. do what won't break previous versions) and break a multi-day event 
apart.  My memory on this one is kind of fuzzy...

Is something not working for you with this?
