Profile Sync Import problem

Question

I have a problem regarding the import of a custom profile property. I have created a custom "description" property which is mapped to the AD "description" property. But after doing a Fullsync the property remains empty.
I have checked the sync via miisclient.exe. I could see that the property was found that the value was "added" to my custom property. However it remained empty.
Is there a way to see when the value get's lost? Anyone else had this problem before?
Any help is appreciated.
Edit: The mapping is import directed. Also, this isn't the only custom property I have created and mapped to an AD property. It's just the only one that doesn't seem to work.

Hello,
Your mapping has import or export direction?
If it import the account used for sync must have Replicate Directory Changes permission on the AD please check:

if it export, first attempt a second full sync if not done already
and then grant the sync account Create child object and write permissions as described here:

Hope it helps
