This bug affects me too, while syncing to Ubuntu One. I have about 40 notes.
Tomboy 1.6.0 (1.6.0-0ubuntu3-1mint1) on Linux 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu 11.04 SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64

I removed all notes locally, tried to sync again a bunch of times, and Tomboy crashed every single time.

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE YOUR NOTES AND SYNC AGAIN.
I thought removing ~/.local/share/tomboy would fix the problem and get me a fresh batch of notes from the server. Instead it removed everything from the server.

I tried everything with ~/.config/tomboy/manifest.xml revision numbers while putting notes from ~/.local/share/tomboy/Backup back, but the server would remove them everytime.
Turns out all you have to do is put the backup notes back, no need to hack the manifest.xml. They sync right back. Phew!

No more crash since I fiddled around.

@Jono, @ahaythaway:

Next time start tomboy from the terminal with a
tomboy --debug > tomboy-debug.txt
do a sync, make it crash, and upload the tomboy-debug.txt
The devs will surely want that.
