The gvfs API and ABI isn't quite stable yet, and intrepid appears to be
using version 0.99.4, whereas hardy is 0.2.5. What the message means is
that somewhere in that upgrade, the dbus interfaces used by gvfs have
changed.

I'm afraid I don't have time to start putting together packages for
intrepid at the moment. However, with luck the core synce-gvfs source
will still compile, and you could try building your own package.

1) make sure you have deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list for ubuntu
and the synce ppa

2) apt-get source gvfs

3) apt-get source synce-gvfs

4) pull synce-gvfs out of svn

5) go into the synce-gvfs from svn, and follow the instructions in the
README under "Building", option 2, and run "make dist"

6) unpack the new tarball in the svn dir somewhere, copy the debian dir
from the synce-gvfs source from apt into the new one, and run
dpkg-buildpackage, which will give you a deb to install

I know that's all a bit vague, if you need further help on any of the
steps let me know.
