Has anybody got it to work? I get the message from Outlook saying that a program is trying to access Outlook; I tell it to allow access for 5 minutes, but after a couple of seconds itunes says it can't copy the calendar. Same thing happened in iTunes 5. I tried useing cached Exchange mode in outlook, in case iTunes needed a local copy of the data, rather than it living on the Exchange server, but no luck.

At the moment I'm having to bring in the Mac Mini from home, make an IP over 1394 connection from that, sync entourage up to the Exchange server, sync Calendar from Entourage, and then use iSync to get it onto the iPod, which is a real pain. I have to use iSync because, for other reasons, I'm still using system 10.3 and itunes 4 on the Mini.

The problem only affects calendars; contacts sync correctly.
