I'm not using Ubuntu One at the moment (I'm still having trouble because of Bug #399713) but I as you can see from your logs, the client cannot find an Authorisation Token, so it tries to download one.

But that fails, because:
"2009-07-26 16:25:48,291:291.05091095 UbuntuOne.OAuthDesktop.auth Token was not successfully retrieved: data was 'Expired timestamp: given 1248643546 and now 1248661547 has a greater difference than threshold 300'"

When converting those 2 timestamps to dates, I get the following:
1248643546 = Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:25:46 GMT
1248661547 = Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:25:47 GMT

Weird ! My best guess is that the date on the server is compared to the date on your machine, but they differ, because you are in a different timezone. I bet that, if you set your clock 5 hours further, the problem will go away.

The strange thing is that this doesn't seem to happen to other people, at least not before today...

Would you mind creating a new bug report for this problem ? I don't feel like the right person for it, because I'm not using UbuntuOne and therefore cannot reproduce your problem.

Try using a clear title, for example: "Cannot retrieve token because of expired timestamp (timezone problem ?)"

Thanks !
