After 2 days of banging my head against a wall, I figured out that this issue is sometimes caused by a registry setting on the PPC. If you've tried the other stuff and it didnt help, try this.

Open a registry editer (I use Tillanosoft TRE) and look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\. Erase everything under P1 and P2, soft reset, and you should be good to go.

I don't know exactly what caused the problem I was having. To troubleshoot I made a backup with sprite, and hard reset my x50v. When I plugged the Axim in it partnered up just fine, and subsequent cradlings (is that even a word lol) worked fine also. Since all but 1.5MB of my programs are in BIS, I figured the problem was the registry. I exported the 'stock' registry and restored the backup I made. Activesync connected as guest after the soft reset. Wonderful, huh? I exported the registry and compared them. The GUID under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\P1 was different for my PC, so I erased it and did another soft reset. I could have hugged my monitor when it showed that it synced as Axim, my PPC name.
