Windows mobile and sync-engine

I followed the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Syn … ows_mobile) but could not get my HTC Touch Diamond to sync, it connects and I can view the files, dirs and installed programs with synce-kpm, but it just does not want to do a sync (contacts, notes, etc.)

So I read that sync-engine needs to be configured for such a sync to work and I followed the tutorial over here:
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceSetup/OpenSync

I am now however stuck at trying to install all the plugins that is required:

msynctool --listplugins
Available plugins:

According to the tutorial and according to what I have read on other forums you need to:

If you don't see the above plugin in the output of msynctool, then download the [http://synce.svn.sf.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/sync-engine/plugins/synce-opensync-plugin-2x.py plugin] and copy this file to /usr/lib/opensync/python-plugins or /usr/lib64/opensync/python-plugins for x86-64. After that, when you rerun msynctool --listplugins you should see the synce-opensync-plugin in the output and you can continue with creating an opensync group.

The required plugin is already in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/plugins/synce-opensync-plugin-2x.py, so I just copied it to /usr/lib/opensync/python-plugins (there is no /usr/lib64 in Arch).

Thing is it is still not recognised, I even tried the synce-install-plugins.py script with no luck.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here or where I should copy the files?
