Booted windows on my iMac just to verify everything is ok, phone, cable,
and hardware wise.  Sure enough,  BitPim on Windows worked without
issues,  still refuses to work in MacOS X.   While I was in windows,  I
verified all my SEEM edits are the completed to file transfers and what
not.  I have all the v3m's bits set.

I also pulled and pushed data to and from the phone for pics and
ringtones [mp3 and mid both]; all worked without issue.

so it is something with the BREW / serial interface under Mac OS X...
but since it is intermittent and some transfers work [ie. video];  I
haven't a clue where to start looking for this problem.

Perhaps a workaround?
