Thanks for helping look into this. Here is my log file when I do a sync. All 4 items it adds already exist, so I get duplicates. Every time I sync, it adds them again.
The log shows that no Outlook events are found, so it for some reason does not see existing events in my Outlook
EDIT: OK, nevermind, I found the problem. None of my Outlook events were being found because I was using the default Regional Date Format. I set it to FULL MONTH and now it works!
So maybe Outlook 2010 (what I am using) needs this settings. But in any case, it is now working perfectly!!! Thanks (donation made via PayPal).
