Profile "defbbbb" not found

I've run into the following error after upgrading to the latest git master branch version of Asynk when trying to sync BBDB to Google Contacts. It's a while (some months) since I last did a sync, so I wonder if I missed out on doing some sort of upgrade to my config?

 $  python2.7 /home/dcs/src/emacs/ASynK/asynk.py --dry-run   --op=sync --gcpwd=XXXX

My guess is you tried to run ASynK on a new machine. If that is the case the fix would be for you to find the ~/.asynk folder from your other machine or account and copy it to your local machine. This will ensure your next sync can pick up where you left off last time.

A second possibility is in your previous attempts, you ran ASynK by specifying a --user-dir=xxx flag on the command line. If this is case you need to find where that directory is and use the appropriate flag again. Otherwise you will be missing the state and your sync will be pretty badly messed up...

A third possibility is a ASynK bug. If you have ruled out both of the above possibilities, I may have to look at your ~/.asynk/state.json. Let's get to this as the last resort.
