This is something that I'll do a little more testing on and report.  This may 
sound stupid but ... how can I get the Daemon to write a logfile?  Or is it 
already written, just somewhere I should know (but don't)?

I think i've narrowed it down to the fact that my Palm is running a Japanese 
OS.  I noticed that once I changed my Japanese contacts into regular roman 
characters, they started showing up in Kontact after sync.  If I keep them in 
Japanese, they tend to either never show up, or just get really screwed up on 
the Palm side after sync.  

Furthermore, I believe because of the Japanese OS, addressbook categories are 
not being handled well.  If you look at the screenshot I took 
(http://www.shock-e.com/temp/kontact_addressbook.png) you can see those 
strange characters hanging out after some of the categories.  Those are 
appended to all of the categories I created on the Palm.  What tends to 
happen is if I put a contact in a category on the Palm, once I sync that 
category designation is lost and the contact is no longer in the category.  
Certainly, the contact isn't in a category on the Kontact side.  I'll check 
this out more to see if I can figure out a pattern.
