I had a database of over 2000 items (more than 400mb) that stopping
syncing to dotmac (mobileme) when I upgraded to Leopard. Upgrading
other machines to Leopard did not solve the problem nor did any of the
sync reset protocols I tried. This included the "nuclear reset" option
and the protocol supplied by Barebones technical support.

The main problem seemed to be the size of the database (and perhaps
the size of certain items in it). I could never get the database to
sync for the first time after the resets. Examination of the console
log and the IDisk (library/application support/syncservices/schemas/
com.barebones.yojimbo.yojimbodata ) showed that the sync was stalling
after a certain time. In my case a temporary file of about 260mb was
created before the sync process was terminated by the server. Since
the first syncing of the database from the "master" machine never
occurred, syncing other machines generated blank databases.

Solution (probably not the most elegant): export all the large
database items (web archives and PDFs) to a new folder. Then delete
the originals from the database. Use the Barebones protocol to reset
sync on all the machines. Sync the new small database from the master
machine. Sync the other machines. Then import in the web archives/PDF
files in small batches (I did this 4 times) to the master database.
Sync this and other machines sequentially as before. This took most of
a day. But now the syncing of all the machines is very quick. WARNING-
this solution will remove the date and tagging of all the exported
items. So don't use this solution if you have limited patience.

Hope this helps someone.
