I have struggled for the better part of *two months* now trying to get
MobileMe to properly sync my Yojimbo database from my home machine to
my office and laptop computers; nothing seems to work, and I'm nearly
resolved to the idea that it will never work. Which, of course, sorta
takes away a crucial value of Yojimbo.

Every method of resetting the sync recommended by Apple and Bare Bones
hasn't fixed this. (I believe that I've tried them all.) Shrinking the
size of my Yojimbo database (currently at 240 MB) hasn't worked. (I
thought it might as the sticking point seems to be the couple-hundred
small .pdfs I was keeping in the database; other database items
appeared mostly to make it across the sync.)

I had troubles with syncing before, as far back as Yojimbo 1.0, but
they were usually resolved by the various schemes of resetting/nuking
the sync settings -- though, to be honest, things would soon (every
month or so) get out of whack again.

More recently, MobileMe appears to report that a successful Yojimbo
sync is being/has been made, for example --

Every other app that I sync with MobileMe (Address Book, Calendars,
Keychains, etc.) works without a hitch. Only Yojimbo fails to work as
it should.

As I've no way of querying the copy of the data that is stored on
MobileMe, I can't tell if changes to the local database *have* been
successfully uploaded. I'm quite sure they're not making it across to
the remote machines.

What can I do but keep resetting everything, wiping out all sync
settings, waiting for a new "merge" to take, etc.? I grow more
convinced that Yojimbo just asks too much, or the wrong thing, of
MobileMe, and I'm on the verge of looking for a very different
solution -- i.e., one that will not use Yojimbo.
