Hi!

What exactly is PACKAGE here? If you use other prefix than com.nokia,
you need to supply the full service name (in your case it.opbyte.grsync) 
as the first parameter for osso_initialize().

There have been some attempts to fix the com.nokia issue in OS 2006
edition so things should (mostly) work also with non-com.nokia service
names, provided that you use the same full org.domain.foobar name
everywhere (desktop, service, osso_initialize() etc).
