Maybe he's not marking them private but something else is? All the symptoms point to that as the cause. Perhaps a dumb question, but did you get a chance to look at some of those items to see if the Private box is checked?

Thanks for the suggestion, but no he is not marking the new contact entries
'Private'. We have tried everything six-ways-from-sunday to resolve this
problem, from taking me off his shared contacts, re-adding me to his shared
contacts, giving me ownership and/or editorial privileges to his contacts,
shutting down, restarting, etc... nothing seems to work, the shared contact
list still does not match his and it isn't in synch with my list when he
enters new contact info. Drivin' me nuts *

My manager has his contact list set-up to where he is sharing it with me.
However, the list I have does not match the list he has. I am also not
receiving any new entries/contacts that he adds to his list as they are
added. We have exercised all options to correct this problem but to no
avail. Please can anyone assist with this?
