offlineimap-dovecot-gnus 6.5.2.1

Hi,

I've been spending the last day and a bit getting
offlineimap+dovecot+gnus working for me.

Everything seems to work, I could sync my mail, read it in GNUS, send
mail etc.

However, after having send and read emails in GNUS, I can no longer sync
my setup. It errors out with the below message.

Note I use / as separator.

I can provide an offlineimap --info off list - however when I look at
that myself, I don't see any folders showing up on it that aren't on
both sides.

In the mail archives I saw mention of a similar problem in 6.4, but it
was supposedly fixed in 6.5.2. I am running 6.5.2.1 from Fedora 17.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jes
