[TW-1384] "Client Sync Key not Found" if sync credentials are changed without running `task sync init`

To recreate:

• Set up to sync with your Taskserver and sync successfully
• Create new credentials with your Taskserver, and configure TaskWarrior to sync with them. Except call task sync instead of task sync init the first time you use the new credentials.

This is the error: {code} Sync failed. The Taskserver returned error: 500 Client sync key not found. {code}

Looks like we just need a better interpretation of the error code.

Hi,

In my case I was trying to solve another issue and whilst implementing a solution proposed by Paul, at some point, I had to resync my TW clients and I got that message.

Deleting ~/.task/backlog.data and running 'task sync' again solved the issue for me.

PS: Backup your ~/.task before doing any change!

Cheers, Antonio Huete

This is regarding the old sync.
