Lion keeps emptying my "login" keychain?

Every time Lion on my MBA tries to sync with mobileme it empties my login keychain. The copy of the keychain in the mobilemaybe cloud is good and fine, and works fine on my other machines (Macmini - lion, and various snowleopard devices).


It's as if lion fails to pull the "login" keychain items down, and happens EVERY time it syncs.


Is anyone else seeing this kind of problem?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7)

If your mobileme has been moved to cloud...you should not be syncing keychains. If it has not...you should: activate root, add in a new admin user that is temporary, copy everything but library folder from your user to that, blow away you user account (leave the home folder alone) and readd with the same name...copy the other non-library folders back.


Your issue is machine specific and therefore it is UID specific, that account is busted.
