I did a clean install of Leopard and now I want to get my contacts, keychains, etc. back from .Mac

I did a sync today and said Replace on this Computer...the sync ran, but nothing updated.

Has anyone been successful in syncing with Leopard?

My sync has been pretty successful. It asked me to review some conflicts. Earlier I had a problem where it refused to run. I checked the console logs and it said my login was refused, even though the preference showed I was signed in. I signed out (of .Mac) and signed in and that fixed things.

For some reason it only synced the Mail accounts and rules, no bookmarks, icals or address book contacts. Oh, it did sync the keychains too. I had made a bootable backup disk using CCC, so I booted off that and backed up iCal and Address Book and then imported them in Leopard.

There was a yellow alert on .Mac syncing for Friday. I didn't check the status today, but Apple was acknowledging some issues yesterday, due to "scheduled maintenance."

FWIW, Sync threw a bunch of error messages and conflict screens up during my first Leopard sync. A lot of the conflict screens were about stuff from 2004 and 2005. Um, okay.

After those first couple of syncs, things have been fine.
