Added one more smartlist to the sync list.
This list contains ~34 files, some of them may possibly be included in the other smartlist and therefore already been on the device from the earlier sync.
Very very early in the sync process, started getting errors and the ipod rebooted. Log with more turned on than just handheld logging
