Ran once and worked.  But never again.  Now it runs, no error messages, but 
nothing transfers.

Here's my story if some helpful person can read and advise me I'd be grateful. 
It took a long time for a newbie to figure out. I still don't really know how 
to turn the shell script into some sort of task that I could automatically run; 
however, I followed the instructions from Sharon, Jan, and Mike for the mac. I 
put the plist in my library and loaded it.

I successfully, but manually, ran the script from the terminal and had my 
events transfer to google. Wow, great I thought!

Then two issues:

First - it somehow put the events in BOTH my primary calendar and the specific 
calendar I had put in the sync instructions.  So I manually in google deleted 
all the copies in my primary calendar.

Second - But I then decided that since the whole point of this is to access my 
work mail but at the same time I wanted the events separate from my personal 
events, I just went and set up a second google account.

I then of course went and adjusted the details in the sync.properties to point 
it to this new account.

Unfortunately, this time instead of seeing all my events scroll by as it ran, 
it just ran, gave no error messages and stopped.

Nothing was transferred.  Have tried repeatedly. No errors.  No data.

I've confirmed that if I put in an error to the account setting, I get an error 
message about not signing into google, so it seems that's not the issue.  I 
checked the log file that seems to have been created by the adjustments Mike 
made.  No errors.  Log just says it ran.

Update to this. I think I don't understand enough what sync means and how it 
works.

I believe the issue was that the sync data doesn't keep track of the fact that 
I changed accounts... so it didn't do anything because it thought all was up to 
date.  Stupid of me.

I don't know how to reset the sync even if I had thought of it! 

So, I tried running it in the reverse direction, and of course with this new 
and empty account it deleted three months of my lotus notes calendar to my 
horror.

However, the point is it works fine I believe.
