I have same same error. The steps I took are as follows;

- Downloaded MobilOrg app for iPhone.
- Created an account on Dropbox.
- Linked Mobilorg to Dropbox account.
- Created test entry in Mobilorg.
- Attempted to sync.

Error returned "Error syncing changes. An error was encountered while attempting to fetch mobileorg.org from the server. The error was: Unexpected error"

On my Dropbox account, I see:

MobileOrg\.dropbox


But you need to run org-mobile-push from Emacs, and set any
variables it relies on.  I forget which, but they are in the
manual.

Ah, so I have to have an existing org-mobile-push'ified ".org" file in Dropbox prior to syncing? I don't think this is really made clear in the instructions. I didn't know that there was an org-mobile-push dependency between Emacs and Mobileorg. I had the impression that Mobilorg could be used stand-alone.
 
I'll try this and report back.
