For the past three days my mobile application has refused to load. I got repeated "unable to synchronise database with server" messages and occasionally the message that the database on the server "appears to be wholly unrelated". When I opted to replace data with the server copy I went through the whole rigmarole again. I repeatedly reset the database in Settings.

I have two Macs and both continued to sync automatically with MobileMe, so I presumed the server database was working correctly and that the fault could not be with MobileMe.

I checked Registered Clients in the Sync Preferences and noticed my iPhone appeared twice. I tried un-registering the older copy but still the problem persisted.

This is what I did finally to get the database back on the iPhone and syncing:

1) In desktop OmniFocus Preferences go to Sync and choose Clients. Delete all iPhone clients (unless you have more than one phone, in which case delete only the one[s] relating to the phone in question).

2) Back on the Sync tab click the button to "Share Settings"

3) Open OF on the iPhone and go to Settings and choose "Get Settings from Mac"

4) Reset the database with the red button

...and the database should be downloaded from MobileMe to the phone. If you then check Sync/Clients you will find the iPhone relisted as a client.

I thought this might be helpful to others struggling with the same problem. If my solution isn't recommended or is likely to cause problems, perhaps Ken or someone else from Omni can post a preferred method.
