You need to set the "loglevel" property, not the env variable. I.e. run
with:
syncevolution --sync loglevel=4 my-config-name

Then look at the syncevolution-log.html file under
~/.cache/syncevolution.

Click on the "expand all" at the top of the file to unfold everything
(otherwise searching via the web browser will skip over folded
sections).

libsynthesis has its own parser. Looking at the full log should tell us
more about what it needs to parse.
