Error message regarding sync - standalone

I get repeatedly get an error when syncing: report 1211345054

I've freshly installed zotero standalone. The storage place is shared with the zotero in my firefox portable. First syncs made some errors, so I've made a reset from the zotero server (local storage: 3GB). This worked fine and SEEMS to be complete but I'm not sure. When I re-open zotero now, I always get an error.

I've already tried to solve by adding the folders "components-8.0" from my running zotero in firefox portable - no success. Then I replaced the folder "components-9.0" analogously - no success -> I recovered the old "components-9.0".


The debugger says:

Thank you for your help!

    This is on a USB drive? There's something strange going on with your data directory. Try moving it to a local hard drive and syncing with that.

    Also make sure you're using Zotero 3.0 in Firefox if you're using Standalone with the same directory.

    Unrelated, but the reset options are not meant for troubleshooting.

    It's on a local FAT32 hard drive on my PC A. From this folder I sync (using rsync) to a USB drive B and take my USB drive B to another PC C without internet. There I rsync to the local FAT32 hard drive in that PC C. I rearrange some literature while working with and installed zotero standalone. Finally I once again rsync to my USB drive B, take it to the PC A and rsync again. In both PCs the hard drives have the same letter G:
    I wish zotero standalone was available in a portable version so that I do not always have to care about the same zotero version on the two PCs A and C.


    Now it works with all citing and there are no error messages left.

    What I've done:
    Zetero standalone 3.0b3.2 has been installed with both wysiwyg-editor integrators. In ff have been some old versions of the wysiwyg-editor integrators.
    I've removed zotero and all wysiwyg-editor integrators from ff. Than I've reinstalled zotero 3.0 for ff. I've NOT installed any wysiwyg-editor integrator in ff.

    Kind regards
