I'm still not getting it... Must be really stupid :-(
This is the message buffer with the error I get when I try to 
org-mobile-push
------------------start error----------------
Creating agendas...done
Saving all Org-mode buffers...
Saving file /Users/erwin/Dropbox/MobileOrg/index.org...
Wrote /Users/erwin/Dropbox/MobileOrg/index.org
Saving all Org-mode buffers... done
Copying files...
org-mobile-copy-agenda-files: Input and output files are the same: 
Unknown error: 0, /Users/erwin/Dropbox/MobileOrg/main.org, 
/Users/erwin/Dropbox/MobileOrg/main.org
-----------------end error-------------------

This is what I did:
- created new_tasklist.org in ~/Dropbox/MobileOrg and put some tasks & 
scheduled stuff inside
- opened up ~/Dropbox/MobileOrg/index.org and appended the newly created 
file at the end like [[file:new_tasklist.org][new_tasklist.org]]
- did org-mobile-push

Hope to get this straight asap!
It would be sooooo great :-)
Thanks for sticking with me!
