* mobileorg app can't sync

I've been trying to get MobileOrg set up with Dropbox, and I seem to
have done something to make it impossible for MobileOrg to sync.
Whenever I try, I get an error message like,

Unexpected error: error getting mobileorg.org

(paraphrased somewhat)

It was syncing fine at one point, but then I decided to move my ~/org
directory into the Dropbox directory, and MobileOrg evidently didn't
like the change.  

How do I get the MobileOrg app (on an iPod Touch) to start up again?

Thanks,
-Rod

  I have not used dropbox, but the directory with your org files and the
  place in webdav that is your MobileOrg staging area are conceptually
  separate.  You still have to org-mobile-push even if org-directory is
  someplace in dav space.
  
  To let someone debug this, you'll have to post your entire relevant
  config, including setting of org-mobile-directory, org-directory, and
  the URL you put in MobileOrg.
  
  (I have mobileorg syncing fine, from two instances (production and beta
  builds), one where I have a separate DAV dir accessed via the local
  filesystem, and one which is accessed on a remote server via tramp/ssh)

    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.

          No, I don't think so.  That's why the instructions talk about the
          'staging area'.
          
          So my system is: I have my 'real' orgmode files in Dropbox, but
          not in my MobileOrg directory.  I then have a command in Emacs
          that when I press C-c g, my .org files are committed to git, and
          org-mobile-push is called to copy them to the dropbox/MobileOrg
          directory.  I then can sync from the ipod and have them there.
          
          I can make changes on the device, marking items as done and taking
          notes.
          
          When I come back to my desk, I use a command bound to C-c p to
          call org-mobile-pull.  I also have auto-revert-mode enabled for
          org files, so all changes simply appear on screen in my org
          files.

          I started over. Followed the instructions at http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/ and 
          everything works.
