Eureka!

The answer is that coldsync does not properly sync changes to record
index information.  I changed a record to be private on my Palm, and
did the usual coldsync to get this onto my desktop.  The private bit
didn't transfer.

I just did a pilot-xfer -f DatebookDB, and in *that* database, the
private bit is set properly.

I don't know if this is a bug, or a fixed bug, or just my
configuration; here are the details of my setup so you can judge:

 - I'm running coldsync 1.1.7

 - My .coldsyncrc is this:

   conduit dump {
	   path "/usr/local/bin/send-mail";
	   type mail/DATA;
   }
   listen serial {
	   device "/dev/pilot";
	   speed 115200;
   }

 - I run coldsync as just `coldsync -I'.
