Datastore how to get past sync errors?

Steve, I don't think I unset any datastore title. I do set title either from user input or from another datastore. There are only the 4 lines in the entire app that do set a datastore title. Do any of these ring a bell?

dupTable.datastore.title = datastore.title
someTable.datastore.title = name # where name is a non empty string
someStore.title = @name
someTable.datastore.title = name # where name == 'New'

We were running pretty wildly through the app this morning during screen casting, no exact record was taken of which exact operations did take place, so I have no way to say how you can reproduce the error. Could it be an assignment of the title to nil or to an empty string?

One thing I remember though is that we tried importing data into a datastore from a file via the Sync SDK. The app crashed at some point during the import due to an unrelated bug (a mapView issue in another thread). Upon restart, we noticed after a while that syncing for this account become problematic. But I am not 100% sure the SDK bug did not already occur before the crash.

Do you any suggestions at this point? Would a copy of the faulty store be of any help?
