S65 accessing Phone addressbook via IrDa qobexclient

Hello all,

I am owning a Siemens S65 since some weeks
(actually it's a german S6V, vodafone branded, hence, but
that shouldn't matter).

I am trying lot of things to get access to the phone's
addressbook under SuSe Linux. Finally I found a note from David Krapohl
in this mailing list describing access trough qobexclient.
He described it via bluetooth, which I however do not have on my laptop.
Instead I use the IrDa port:

qobexclient -t irda -u irmcsync -g "telecom/pb.vcf" -f  S65_Adressbook.vcf

This works fine for downloading the book as a VCard2.1 file.

However, uploading to the phone, hence,

qobexclient -t irda -u irmcsync -p "telecom/pb.vcf" -f  S65_Adressbook.vcf

just hangs up. Phone shows request by "application stopped during sync",
but nothing happens.

Anybody, perhaps David, know why this works with Bluetooth (-t bt)
but not IrDa? Is it working for Bluetooth, since a dedicated
RFCOMM channel needs to be used to make write access?

By the way, it's the same situation for calendar
(-g "telecom/cal.vcs" works, but put (-p) not)

Appreciate any hint,

Rolf
