Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 Ok, I've updated ds-backup to read

  - oldstyle INI
  - gconf
  - the 'identifier' directory

 The reason I added gconf too is that we've found a way to read gconf from
 cron scripts, so I suspect Sugar may revert to using plain gconf.

 The patches are a in the repo above, and I've cut an RPM for the F11 based
 builds, so should work on SoaS.

 client-0.11-1.olpc3.noarch.rpm

 Can you test and confirm?
