expandrive is having issues when coupled with chronosync; ruled out chronosync as the problem

I can successfully connect to and mount my windows xp folders (via sftp) on my macbook using expandrive. I can also drag folders/files back and forth, do live editing, etc...

However, when I try to use Chronosync to sync a folder on my windows box to a folder on my macbook, I get all sorts of read/write permissions issues, and the majority of the files on the windows box won't get pushed over to my macbook. I've ruled out chronosync as the problem (as chronosync works just great syncing a folder on my windows box to my macbook via a smb connection).

Any ideas about what's going on? And it even gets a bit stranger. If I let chronosync try to sync a folder (with subfolders) for the first time, hardly anything will be pushed over to my macbook. But if I keep trying add it (and do some other strange things like browsing deeper in the hierarchy within chronosync) I get a few more files and folders to sync up...

And the permissions on the folders that synch and the folders that don't synch are all the same (I use 'super getinfo to check this... the chmod numbers are all the same).

So what on earth could be causing such flakiness???

Your help is greatly appreciated.
