Ok-- from off list email I understand that was against 2.0.10.  I
applied the patches and it compiled and executes ok, then I get this
from gpilotd:

I strace'd gpilotd, and saw this:

read(17, "\233\1\0\0\240\0\1\34\1\32\0\17Unfiled\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"...,
292) = 292
write(2, "memo-file-conduit-Message: load_"...,
40memo-file-conduit-Message: load_records
) = 40
open("/home/james/Memos", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) =
16
fstat64(16, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
fcntl64(16, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)        = 0
write(2, "memo-file-conduit-Message: load_"...,
43memo-file-conduit-Message: load_categories
) = 43
open("/home/james/Memos/.categories", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
write(2, "memo-file-conduit-Message: no ca"...,
53memo-file-conduit-Message: no categories, no records
) = 53
close(16)                               = 0
getpid()                                = 14671
write(2, "\n(gpilotd:14671): gpilotd-WARNIN"..., 89
(gpilotd:14671): gpilotd-WARNING **: Conduits initialization failed,
aborting operation
) = 89


so I did 'touch '~/Memos/.categories' and it synced with 'Copy from
Pilot'.  Now it synchronizes.  Not sure why it didn't just create
.categories, but it is a step in the right direction.
