Public bug reported: I can SSH into the remote machine. I have the remote machine mounted as a folder in Nautilus. I have the same version of Unison installed on both my local and remote machine. However, Unison is unable to connect to the target machine via SSH or "Local", complaining:
Uncaught exception Sys_error("/home/myuser/.unison/myuser@remotehost/home/myuser.prf: No such file or directory")' This error message is completely unhelpful and doesn't explain why this file would be needed, nor how I should create it.
