Entourage Palm syncing no longer working

[george]

After upgrading to Tiger on a new dual 2.0 G5, I had no problems
syncing Entourage to my Palm Tungsten. It worked for two weeks without
a hitch. Suddenly, this weekend, without changing anything on my
system, the Palm sync process began generating an endless beach ball in
the Entourage conduit. This begins shortly after the Entourage conduit
loads to the date book (the address book seems to sync fine). First the
Microsoft Error Reporting app opens, then the beach ball begins.
Eventually the Palm reports an inability to communicate with the
desktop.

The Conduit Manager is inaccessible during this time. If I cancel on
the Palm it tries for about 10 minutes to cancel, but fails. My only
option each time is to force quit.

I've upgraded Office with the 1.11 upgrade issued in March. I've also
tried deleting the conduit prefs and resetting them, in case it was a
corrupted file. I've also rebuilt the data file. Nothing works.

Any ideas what I can try next?

Make sure all recurring events that you are synchronizing have end dates.
There is a bug in some versions of the Handheld Synchronization conduit that
keeps it from being able to synchronize recurring events without end dates
properly.
