Stop Dropbox from attempting to sync a socket

Hi Rob B.35,
The error / help text here is _definitely_ unhelpful. It should just tell you that syncing special files (in this case, a unix domain socket I think) is not supported. We're working on fixing the error text.
The actual underlying error here is that the item is not a regular file (or dir or symlink), and the sync engine is refusing to sync it for that reason. The error itself is safe to ignore. The sync engine can't/wont sync that file, and if I understand correctly, that's the desired end state anyway.
Right now I don't think we have a way to permanently suppress the error, since as you discovered you can't add the com.dropbox.ignored xattr to a unix domain socket.
