Bevor you run "sync_client -r" you should run

   sync_client -r -f /PATH_TO_SYNC_DIR/log-33213

to sync what was left form the old sync process and confirm that the exit
code is 0 (echo $?) than you can delete log-33213

The Sync_client will catch up if you miss syncing log-33213, but it can
lead to some errors if sync_client tries to sync some mailboxes that have
not been created on the replic.
