Thanks. Unfortunately WinSCP was the only way to get the files I edited on Tomboy on to the N900 because I have a faulty USB port. I tried the command you entered but it did not make any difference (although I was not sure at which point I was to run the command - before transferring the files using WinSCP, after, before closing Conboy after editing note). However, I think what you said is almost certainly the cause of the problem. I have managed to find a way around the issue though and my notes are saving now, although Conboy has now become unstable (it crashes like three times before finally opening). Hopefully this will sort itself out. Anyway the work around I did was that I put memory card into my blackberry and connected blackberry to laptop. I then transferred the Tomboy files to the media card using USB. Then I put the memory card into the N900 and used xterm cp command to copy them to the .Conboy folder thereby avoiding having to use WinSCP and like I said they are now saving. Very ungainly process though so I think I will stick to just editing notes on my N900 rather than on laptop as well, at least until I can fix the faulty USB port on my device.
