Bug Description

Seem there is a bug in the libopensync plugin for google that doesn't allow contact synchronization:

http://www.opensync.org/ticket/750

I don't know if it's a bug or a feature missing, but it would be really a nice to have.
That's the output that i get from msync trying to synchronize contacts with my google account:

This is still the case when you sync kdepim with google calendar :-(

I think the bug title is wrong, as writing a kcal entry is the problem.

In any case, I guess the 0.22 version cannot sync contacts, but this python backtrace is due to issues with calendar entries.

I still get the error: "Mapping Write Error: Couldn't read from helper" when I try to sync GPE-Calendar w/ Google-Calendar. I use the command line options:

--filter-objtype contacts --filter-objtype todo --filter-objtype note

So I don't think the prob. is that contacts cannot be synched... Part of error log: pastebin.com/1nzjFGF6
