Without any namespaces it told me that I had to define the heirarchy
separator. Then I added the namespaces initially with both of them
specifying a location. But then when I tried to run dsync again, it
told me the namespace of the one to be mirrored should have no
location so I had to remove that. Then it worked.

I just wiped out and rebuilt my raid on my second box im working on so
once thats back and i restore my base maildir i'll run it again to get
the actual error output =P
