sync_(client|server) problem

Looks like the syslog messages probably cover why sync_client is  
having problems.  However, I think common wisdom is that sync_client  
should be started separately from cyrus master, because the  
sync_client process dies.  Since it dies, you should plan on  
restarting it, monitoring whether it's still running, etc.  If you're  
experiencing an ordering problem with ptloader, sync_client after  
cyrus master will probably solve this problem for you.
