Entourage Daemon Help!!!

OK, here's the scoop. I use a program called Synchronize Pro to sync up my files from work and home (carried on an external firewire drive). I used to sync up my email too by syncing the Microsoft User Data folder. This worked fine with Entourage 2001, but will not quite work in Entourage v.X. Here's why:

Office vX has a Database Daemon that launches automatically at boot. This daemon somehow updates the Microsoft USer Data files so that the local files are then suddenly more current than my external hard drive files, which are actually more current in terms of data.

I tried removing the Daemon autostart from the login options, but it keeps showing back up after a reboot or two. I tried removing the Daemon from the Apps folder, but then Entourage won't launch.

Any thoughts on how I can keep this stupid thing from launching? What does it even do?
 
Maybe you could chmod the app so it couldn't be run, but all your programs would still think its there.

Here's how, in terminal, I'll use AIM as an example:
cd /Applications
ls
cd 'AOL Instant Messenger (SM)'/
ls
cd Contents
ls
cd MacOS
ls
chmod 550 'AOL Instant Messenger (SM)'

Thats it, now you have an app which exists but can't be run

PS: Check your PMs ;-)
