Mobile account hangs on sync

[erikm]

Hello,
I have a client that I had a mobile account running with Tiger server. He bought a new PowerBook, so I did a clone of the old Powerbook to the new one.

Immediately after the clone, it did a HomeSync, and it said there were 70K+ conflicts on the server, but the Powerbook had to be shipped out to his location, so I stopped before it did anything.

Now, anytime it attempts a sync, it just hangs somewhere along the line – usually while scanning through the iPhoto library in some thumbnail directory. And it doesn’t even look like it’s actually “syncing”, it’s just doing the preview scan.

I tried removing the account and creating another on his Powerbook, but it still won’t sync properly anymore.

What is the easiest way to reset the mobile account and start over? And get this to sync properly?

Thanks
