As bizzare as it sounds, I have seen the problem first hand. I had a user with a treo 680 and synced with the Palm Desktop. Palm to desktop worked fine, but desktop to palm failed. It never generated an error message, but it just continued to fail. I tried all the normal stuff, deselecting it, reselecting it, forcing treo to palm sync, removing all data from the palm desktop and it still did the same basic behavior. Finally, I decided to roll back to version 4.2 and it worked great.
Apparently, version 6.2.2 does not work well with windows XP. That sounds a little bizzare, but here is a forum with more information on it…

Ideally, I would like to see people with an exchange server and activesync to remove the need for Palm Desktop, but not everyone is fortunate enough to be on one!
