ISync doesn't access Address Book (although it says it does) -PLEASE HELP!

Question

Fellow iSync users,
My iSync stopped working... calendars and to-do's work fine, but the contacts won't sync!
Odd: although it says it's "Refreshing", that does NOT seem to apply to the address book "groups" or contacts. I tried a lot of things, including resetting sync history, repairing, adding/removing device, trying USB instead of Bluetooth... and even deleting the following files:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iSync.plist
contents of ~/Library/Phones
contents of ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
contents of ~/Library/Application Support/SyncService
(I recently upgraded my Nokia's 6110 Navigator's firmware to 4.22, but that shouldn't matter, should it? Though it's an odd coincidence.)
Thank you for your help!

Yes. Having problems too. I get the following message in the Hot Sync log:
Loading “Apple”
Conduit “iSync Conduit” version 3.0.0
Sync type is Fast
iSync Conduit starting 02/10/06 1:02:03 pm
Setting Hello Response, type is PalmSyncTypeFast, language is 0 (BladeLanguageEnglish) 02/10/06 1:02:06 pm
iSync Conduit: received NULL message, disconnecting... 02/10/06 1:02:06 pm

OK iSync Conduit
I suspect the "NULL" message means the sync fails in one direction, but I am no expert. I've tried a soft reset on my TX without success. The only way I have sorted it out in the past is to do a hard reset, remove my <user name> file from /<User name>/Documents/Palm/Users/<user name> then do a hot sync, selecting my user name and then to add new applications one at a time, checking the HotSync log each time for error messages.
When I first got the TX I tried transferring data and applications from my Zire 71, but I think it was these old applications that were causing the problems. I have bought or obtained new versions of applications which are said to work with the TX and all was well until I tried to install the CardRules database for CardSuite 3.7.1 - and it's done it again.
Does anyone else have any thoughts please?
I don't know if this is an influence, but I am syncing two TXs to my one Mac.
