My sync was working beautifully for years. Yesterday I updated to 29, Firefox tells me to update to the new sync system. I follow their instructions and do so. Now all I get is "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error" continually. I assume its being overwhelmed with all the clients updating so I waited till today, but I am still getting the error. I am unable to understand the log file, I don't see where the error is happening.

All I am syncing is tabs and history, that's it. I have deleted the contents of the "weave" folder and that didn't help. Is there another place to clean up? Thank you for any help!

Here is the log:

The form mangled the log format. I have put it on pastebin as well: http://pastebin.com/63G8c9QV.

BTW, the problem is syncing history. If I disable history (and only have tabs enabled, then no error).

Thanks again!
