You should only get conflicted PST files, if you have opened Outlook on both machines at the same time, (or at least opened the second one before the DB app was able to sync the changes from the first one being closed).
This is a regular cause of conflicted copies on any application. Outlook is nothing special.
FYI: large files that are modified without reorder or insertion or removal of data, just updating, will upload fast as the DB app keeps track of the uniqueness of each 2meg block of file, any change in each block and that goes up, not changed and it doesnt. PSTs append and reuse cleared space so dont reorganize etc, so often go up quick.
