I myself have had many wierd Sync problems for a very long time - it has frustrated me very greatly. In fact, I just ran into another one last week, and now I have to restart my Active unit. I too can not perform a Sync from the Active to the Standby unit with the GUI: http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=32&postid=1167401&view=topic. However, I can pull the config from the Standby, and can push the sync from the Active from the command line.
For a very long time, I have been affected by a slightly different, but equally frustrating behavior caused by our large config. When we sync from the Active to the Standby unit, the Standby "resets itself" while it is loading the new config. This "reset" takes a long time - so long sometimes that it seems to prevent the Active unit from believing the two are in sync: even though it just finished synching.
Your best bet is to open a case - you did the right thing.
