Thanks in advance for your help.

The stacktrace implies that you are using a (presumably unsupported) tool that connects to Alfresco via it's deprecated SOAP-based web services. Is this hostname expected:

<blockcode>{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}hostname:docman</blockcode>

In case others can help, can you please confirm where you download the "Desktop Sync" tool (and version) as well as the Alfresco server edition/version ?

Regards,
Jan
