One-way sync or replacing the Palm's contacts

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Hi, I'm new to the Palm world and I'm stuck trying the following:
I need to update my Palm Z22's contacts with the ones I export from Lotus Notes, that works fine with 

pilot-xfer -r exportfolder

But, everytime I export, the contacts get added to the ones I already had on the device. I'm trying to empty the Palm's AddressDB with: 

pilot-xfer -d AddressDB

but it doesn't seem to work.
Any help will be appreciated,
thanks in advance

Workaround solution in two steps

Hi again,
just in case someone's interested, I have decided to do this in two steps (two syncs).
First I send the newly exported files to the Palm device: 
pilot-xfer -r exportfolder
Then I prompt the user to touch "HotSync" again and I send this: 
pilot-dedupe -p /dev/pilot AddressDb DateBookDB
to eliminate the duplicate entries.

Just until I find something better.

Cheers...
