Regardless of the sync software, when syncing multiple databases, you have to 
follow the rule of "one host many clients".  That is if you have handheld 
(h), computer 1 (c1), computer 2 (c2), and computer 3 (c3), you can

sync h with c1, c2 and c3, but in that scenario, never thereafter c1 with c2.  
Here h is the host and c1, c2 and c4 are the clients.

or you could

sync c2 with h, c1 and c3, but in that scenario, never h with c1 or c3,  Here, 
c2 is the host.

To do otherwise is to invite data corruption.
