Failing at Deleting MetaData item.

Question

I'm building a knowledge sync provider and am having trouble successfully deleting an item out of the metadata. Specifically, I can find the item with FindItemMetadataByUniqueIndexField, then, I mark it as deleted in the code below, then save it.

Any suggestions? I know if I jump the code that created the metadata item, all works correctly so I'm pretty sure it's a delete problem.

// first, since updatemetadata already added metadata for this item in local, we need to remove it first
          var itemToDelete = _replicaMetadata.FindItemMetadataByUniqueIndexedField(FileNameUriCF, uri);
          SyncVersion newVersion = new SyncVersion(0, _replicaMetadata.GetNextTickCount());
          itemToDelete.MarkAsDeleted(newVersion);
          SaveItemMetadata(itemToDelete, 0); // set timestamp to 0 for tombstones

 private void SaveItemMetadata(ItemMetadata item)
    {
      _replicaMetadata.SaveItemMetadata(item);
    }
