Resetting/changing portable home directory sync settings?

I've got Tiger Server installed on my Mac mini, and have set up Open Directory and portable home directories for syncing my laptop and desktop. All are running 10.4.5.

It's all working fine, apart from this: I'm trying to change the folders that are and aren't being synced, but it doesn't appear to be changing anything when I sync the clients.

I've looked inside the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.HomeSync.plist files (on the clients), and it's still as it was when I initially set it up.

My setup in Workgroup Manager looks like this:

Synchronisation tab

Login & Logout Sync tab

Background Sync tab

Options tab

I've tried turning the login/logout sync on and rebooting the server, no change. Ticking "Merge with user's settings" doesn't change anything either.

I've also tried using MCXCacher (in /System/Library/CoreServices/mcxd.app/Contents/Resources/) to flush the cache, but also no change. I haven't yet deleted and re-added the LDAP bindings in Directory Access, but can't at the moment as I'm at work.

Argh!

Any ideas? TIA!
