Different installations use different kinds of namespaces for different purposes, so dsync can't simply sync all the namespaces. It syncs only the namespace which uses the global mail_location setting (not overriding it by having an explicit location setting).

So you probably should remove this location setting (and make sure mail_location is the same).
