DropBox Sync stubbornly refuses to work

DropBox 4.1.2 (MAS version) is running on my wife's iMac and MacBook Air, and is set to sync the "1password" vault using DropBox.
I have both 1Passwords open on screen next to each other. The file path to the 1password.agilekeychain file is exactly the same, and it is on DropBox, and DropBox is connected and synchronized.

On the iMac 1passwords sync entry (in Settings > Synchronize) says "last synchronized 14 seconds ago", on the MBA it's "last synchronized 1 second ago".

The same password entry shows a different password, however. On the iMac it has "last changed 15.04.2014 at 14:06", on the MBA "last changed 22.12.2009 at 16:43".
What on earth is it synchronizing, or rather, why the ***** is it not synchronizing from the iMac to the MBA (and the iPhone)? And what can one do to make it actually synchronizing, not just frustratingly pretending to do so?

    Does post #2 in this thread help at all?

    Hi Stephen, thanks indeed for the link!
    It did help, as it let me find the hint about iOS not being compatible (yet) with multiple vaults, and also spelled the correct way to proceed.
    In the end I decided to merge all vaults and switch from DropBox to iCloud syncing, and things appear to run smoothly again – as I expect with a product so nice and indispensable as 1password.
