Perhaps the DB input validation needs tightening. Or the plist generation logic 
needs to more gracefully handle unexpected conditions (maybe just skip the 
troublesome record). 

In any case, there appears to be a too-long note in an entry. 

Requests to the update url (<http://secrets.blacktree.com/plist>), receive:

I am having this issue as well. It would seem this is something easy to fix: 
there is a secret with notes longer than 500 characters somehow, and rectifying 
this as well as other offending DB records will do the trick.

I did a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.7.3 and then reinstalled Secrets. Still 
occurring. Stuck with default Secrets.

Don't bother with trying to fix it on your system, people. This is a problem on 
the server and is going to be the same for everybody on ALL systems until the 
developer gets around to fixing it.
