[Csync2] No transfer?

Hi,

I'm new to csync2, using it to replace an existing rsync-based system  
for syncing user content between web servers in a cluster. I've got  
so far, but it doesn't actually do any transfer. When I do a 'csync2 - 
x -r -vv' it shows it running through all the local files (and I can  
see it matching my includes/excludes) and updating the DB, then it  
finishes just saying:

Connecting to host www2 (SSL) ...

and that's it. No errors, but no files transferred. I created the SSL  
certs and shared key (same on all servers) as per the docs. I tried  
setting 'nossl' between my hosts, but that results in "identification  
failed" errors on every file. It does the same thing in the other  
direction. If I touch a local file and sync again, it doesn't get  
copied.

My firewall is ok - I can happily telnet into the csync2 port (and  
generate errors as I can't type SSL!) in each direction.

Where might I find some better diagnosis or logging of what's going on?

BTW, something that wasn't covered in the docs - when generating the  
SSL cert, the Common Name (CN) has to match the hostname, even though  
the generation utility says that you should use "YOUR name".

Thanks,

Marcus
