Bug Description
I just encountered a situation where the ubuntu one client was running, but the syncdaemon was not, so it was silently failing to connect/sync (I suggest it should not do so silently).
The cause was that the syncdaemon was refusing to start because there was a .lock file in ~/cache/
The daemon should really check to see if there is a process running when it finds a .lock file, and if not, clear up after the previous failure.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for reporting this issue.
This issue was fixed a while ago, and now dbus is used to handle this.
Please update the client to the latest version.
Regards,
