What is status -5997?

My MobileSync stopped working. When I look at the last sync date its from 12/17/13 even though I receive no direct error or conflict messages when I try a manual sync. I looked in my Console log and found the following;

I've tried searching the Internet for a "status -5997" but found nothing. Other accounts on the same machine are working fine. Any suggestions?


Thanks,

The home folder was there, it needs to be to snyc. I came up with the idea of changing the name of the folder (adding an extra letter to the end) and trying to snyc. It worked! It rebuilt the folder and all the files in it. There mus† have been some odd condition which caused the sync errors. Moving the Users folder off of the Drobo and to the local volume on the server worked. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
