First, can you upgrade to 6.5.0? 6.4.2-6.4.4 are somewhat flawed
unfortunately.

I suspect that an upgrade should solve your problems. There is a later
fix that will prevent us from creating folders on the remote side when
they are filtered out via folderfilters.

The earlier version simply ignores all filtered out folders as
inexistant and than attempts to create it, but -- of course --, it
already exists on the server. Later versions should have fixed that.

You can also use the "--info -u basic" switch since 6.5.0 to give you a
nice list of folders and how they are "translated".

Let us know if it works with 6.5.0.
Thanks,
Sebastian
