I don't have a specific solution for your problem, but can
confirm that when I replaced my Tungsten C with a new T|X I
just did a final hotsync from the Tungsten C to my laptop,
set the T|X user name to the same one I had been using with
the Tungsten C, connected the "empty" T|X to my laptop and
ran hotsync. Everything was transferred to the T|X. (I
may have had to reinstall one or two applications and
hotsync again, but the process was painless.
