So this is the part I'm not clear on -- when you say "resynch" can you clarify? What is happening in the jEmplode sync dialog at this point? I'm just trying to think of a point in the protocol where a timeout would occur that would leave "Synchinsing.." on the Empeg. It's certainly not SUPPOSED to happen this way. There's definitely something funky going on w/ your scenario, I just don't know what yet.
