I imported a folder from a Apple Server. Everything was fine. Subsequently, the folder contents changed. I "synced" everything and DEVONthink Pro Office did nothing. I have to constantly re-import the whole folder, which is a real pain.

How about presenting your problems to the active user forum or open a trouble ticket.Pissing and whining in VT only shows how ignorant you are about the product and the excellent support provided by the developer.

The behavior you observed in DEVONthink Pro 2.0 was correct. Use of Import to capture files means there is no synchronization between the original Finder folder(s)/files and the database content. The database is self-contained.You can, however, use a Folder Action script to import new content added to a folder.
Alternatively, you could have Index-capture the folders/files. In that case, the folders/files are not copied to the database, but are indexed. There's one-way synchronization from the external folders/files to the database content.
