That's a regression. You are using an old-style config, which was meant
to be usable, but some change broke that.

If it is found, the config is no longer recognized. This was necessary
to distinguish between old-style peer config and new-style context
config. The "peers" directory shouldn't be created. That's the root
cause of the problem.
Here's how you can recover from this while I prepare an update:
* remove the peers directory once more
* run "syncevolution --migrate funambol"
This will renamed ".config/syncevolution/funambol" to
".config/syncevolution/funambol.old" (which can be removed later) and
the new-style config in ".config/syncevolution/default/peers/funambol".
Then just use it as before.
