Where do you see that?

The initial, so called SAN message, is not getting dumped. See
SyncContext::sendSAN() for the code which generates it. That there's no
LocURI for SyncEvolution confirms my theory that the phone can't
distinguish between the different computers.

However, after thinking some more about it I suspect that sending a
LocURI as part of the SyncML session wouldn't help: basically the phone
picks the configuration (and thus the sync anchors) based on the
information in the SAN message. At least that's how SyncEvolution does
it.

It's worth trying with remoteIdentifier set differently on the two
computers.
