It's not a solution, but I wrote a script that would just invoke rsync to sync the files in my Dropbox folder on my laptop to the same on the N900 and vice versa. It works fine as a stopgap on a Linux box.

Just make sure rsync is installed and this should work for you as well. If you have your Dropbox folder in a directory other than ~/Dropbox, just change that. It doesn't mess up any symlinks that you have in the Dropbox folder either because of the -k switch on the second rsync.

Here is the script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

### Settings ###
DIRECTORY='/media/Nokia N900/'
REMOTE='/media/Nokia N900/.documents/Dropbox'
LOCAL=$HOME/Dropbox
ORIGINAL_IFS=$IFS
IFS=$'\n'

### Script ###

if [ -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then
	rsync -vauLP $LOCAL/ $REMOTE
	rsync -vauKP $REMOTE/ $LOCAL
fi

Just name it whatever you want (ie - n900-dropbox-sync.sh) and make it executable (chmod +x).

I've also attached the script.
