David,
the error in your log indicates that you were using a newer version ( a trunk version) of Ubuntu One and then went back to an older one? if you started a client using trunk code, your metadata was migrated and now the system-wide client can't read it (It's trying to read metadata v.6 which is the new metadata version). To fix this you can do the following

1. quit Ubuntu One client by selecting quit from the applet.
2. Quit the syncdaemon by running in a Terminal:
u1sdtool -q
3. Back up your Ubuntu One folder. You can use the Terminal command:
cp -r ~/Ubuntu\ One ~/Ubuntu\ One.bak
4. Clean out the Ubuntu One folder (after you make sure your data is backed up). You can use the following Terminal command:
rm -r ~/Ubuntu\ One && mkdir ~/Ubuntu\ One
5. Remove the metadata
sudo rm -r .local/share/ubuntuone
6. Start the Ubuntu One Client (Applications > Internet > Ubuntu One)
7. Copy a test file into your Ubuntu One folder. Let it sync. If it works correctly proceed to step 8
8. Put the contents of ~/Ubuntu\ One.bak back in ~/Ubuntu\ One

If you need any help with this you can log onto IRC freenode network #ubuntuone channel.
thank you,

Yes, I realized that. I followed the fix though it didn't make a new folder after I did 'cp -r ~/Ubuntu\ One ~/Ubuntu\ One.bak' so I think I typed it in wrong. So I just renamed the bak folder to original (that seemed to be OK) because it did sync.
