After upgrade OneNote folders cannot sync, show error code: 0xE402005F

Question

I've found many threads discussing OneNote Sync errors, though none of them so far have addressed this error code or specific behavior related to a Sharepoint upgrade.  There also doesn't seem to be a fix discussed for this particular problem.
After upgrading from Sharepoint 2010 to 2013, all upgraded OneNote folders fail to sync with the following error message:
"We're sorry, something went wrong during sync. We'll try again later. (Error code: 0xE402005F)"
Very inspecific error, very little information on how to investigate the problem.  And no references to this error code can be found.
After the upgrade our URLs are the same, so the notebook path information should be intact.  These were mostly folders created by OneNote 2010.  I've used the suggestion to run "onenote.exe /safemode" and reset cache files and settings
to no effect.  Right now my only solution is to access the folders from our old farm, export the contents and then import each page into a newly created notebook.  But, this is just a workaround and not a solution.
Does anyone have advice on what to try next?
Thanks

Hi Brad,
Find a very similar case internaly, it provides the the following approach, which is similar to what you have done.
SharePoint 2010 is migrated to 2013, the Notebooks references are broken, for each notebook we had to fix the references.
1.Downloaded Notebooks to local machine.
2.Then create a new notebook on local machine.
3.Transfer all sections into new notebook.
4.Copy all references folder and files from SharePoint library to desktop
5.For each section built the reference to the folder
6.Close the notebooks and re-launch the onenote.
