OK, I think I have a solution for you. Please take backups first in case this doesn't work.
To Sync when you already have GMail and FM contacts:- Download your FM addressbook (probably vCard / Mac OS X format would be best)
- Upload that file to GMail contacts
- Use GMail's "Duplicates" command to merge all your contacts together
- Delete all your FM contacts
- On the sync service screen, clear all sync state (if you've ever used it before)
- Sync!
It would be great if you could try this, and let us know how it turns out. It doesn't matter whether it's FM or GMail that's empty to start - it's just important to realise that on the first sync all contacts are copied in each direction, without attempting to merge duplicates.
