ssh sync fails to configure

Binary package hint: tomboy

If I try to configure ssh sync in the version of Tomboy in Lucid updates (1.2.1-0ubuntu1), it fails to save the sync configuration.

What I do is:

* open up "Preferences > Synchronisation"
* select "SSH" from the service dropdown
* enter server, username and folder details
* click "Save"

If I then select "Yes" when asked if I want to sync now, I get the error:

  Synchronisation is not configured
  Please configure synchronisation in the preferences dialogue.

  Details
  (empty)

After closing that, I can still see the settings in the preferences dialogue (but greyed out). However, if I then close the preferences dialogue and re-open it, the settings I'd entered previously are lost. The settings are also lost if I select not to sync immediately.

At first glance it seems this bug is Ubuntu-specific.. ssh sync is working from my Debian Squeeze laptop (I'll check the package version on that when I can later today and update the bug, if it helps).
