kitchensync uses opensync 0.22 (the latest stable version), and the=20
kdepim-sync plugin of that version uses the KDE3 libraries.
So you probably can't sync with that version against KDE4 as KDE4 uses a=20
different default location of the PIM data (~/.kde4 instead ~/.kde)
I didn't try if there is a workaround to that problem.

Currently there is no kdepim-sync plugin which links against the new=20
KDE4 libraries, and there is no work put into the already old version=20
0.22 of opensync. Instead, there is heavy work going on for the next=20
stable release 0.40.

However, work has been started on a new KDE4-PIM opensync plugin which=20
uses the new Akonadi infrastructure, so at some point in time after the=20
release of opensync 0.40 there will be a working KDE-PIM sync again.
