Hi Paul,

thanks for the info. Just to let you know, I just cvs upped to the trunk, but 
unfortunately syncing didn't work for me.

To make a long story short, i append a small diff against the trunk that seems 
to work for me (not thoroughly tested, though, and not perfect about 
authorization).

Heres what happened: I've always seen this error:

	Module Products.ZSyncer.ZSyncer, line 1503, in call_
	Module copy_reg, line 69, in _reduce_ex
	TypeError: can't pickle function objects

Which I can get around by changing line 1501 of ZSyncer.py from

	result = sys.exc_info()[:2]
to
	result = (str(sys.exc_info()[0]), str(sys.exc_info()[1]))


Which in turn tells me, that security bites me. This happens no matter if I 
use the current account or the http://username:password@server.url/. I double 
checked permissions, Manager Role is Allowed to "User ZSyncer" and "View 
Management Screens".

Good news is, Dieter gave a hint about to exchange "validateValue" with 
"validate", which seems to help (at least for the username:password thingy; 
it still wont sync with the current user for me).

Incidentally, I stumbled about a problem when an object is on the remote 
syncer, but not the local, which seems to be fixed by an addition to an 
except clause; and finally I found that if you want to browse ZClasses for 
syncing, a reordering of an if/elif is necessary.

Hope someone finds it useful.


Cheers, Sascha
