[TYPO3-english] T3 3.4.2 and treesync.Does it works?

[mario]

Hello


I made a small progress.
There is an extra '&' at ../typo3conf/ext/treesync_base/modsrv/xmlrpc.php on line 177:
parse(&$xml) should be just parse($xml).
I see the configuration tool now. But if you try to use the import tool, you  get the following long msg: 


>>Uncaught TYPO3 Exception
#1: PHP : Function ereg() is deprecated in /var/www/html/432gc/typo3conf/ext/treesync_base/modsrv/xmlrpc.php line 272
t3lib_error_Exception thrown in file
..../t3lib/error/class.t3lib_error_errorhandler.php in line 101.<<

I replaced ereg by preg_match in a couple of files, and I got it fixed. 
However, then  i only get 

>>Import details
Initializing transfer
XMLRPC Fault (10532). Connection to failed: Socket could not be
initialized
There are no files to transfer <<

and I am lost again
any hint?
thanks
