Fatal Exception Error when synching finds

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A fatal null pointer exception message is reported when synching finds with 
POSITx China experiment, which is preventing users from synching some of their 
finds, mainly the latter part of a list. I have about 18-20 complete finds with 
coordinates, with 7 synched ones.

I did get a trace as follows:
