that shouldn't happen, ever.
What *could* happen in certain circumstances is that the local
syncdaemon thinks (either correctly or in error) that the server
has a new version and at the same time that it has local
un-synchronized changes. In such a situation, the local file will be
renamed by adding .u1conflict to the filename. Could you confirm
whether you have .u1conflict files?
