How can I get Tampermonkey's Chrome Sync to actually sync?

Firstly, the Tampermonkey sync setup is described here.
The above-described process is not working for me, however. I've written a few scripts on one machine, where Chrome Sync is enabled, and have enabled the same sync functionality on a couple of other machines, neither of which are picking up the scripts. On all of the machines, Chrome is logged into my Google account.
I wondered if there might be some kind of delay, but everything has been setup for nearly 24 hrs at this point, so I don't believe that is an issue.

The issue is that Chrome Sync requires there to be an @downloadURL or @updateURL tag set where the service can retrieve the script information. The only data actually synced via the Chrome Sync service is the URL to the script, not the script itself.
Since all my scripts were made by myself, this doesn't work. There does not appear to be a working solution for syncing personal scripts conveniently at this time.

I'm having a problem where Chrome won't ever fully start (cursor just spins indefinitely and can't use the any menus or buttons in Chrome). I think it is due to an extension I installed but since the browser is unresponsive, I can't do anything through Chrome itself.
Is there a flag to disable all extensions for Chrome or a config file I can manually edit to disable extensions so I can figure out what exactly is causing it? I'd prefer to not have to blow it away and reinstall as I might just install the offending extension again (assuming that is what is causing the issue).

I could be wrong, but starting up in incognito mode prohibits Chrome from using extensions automatically (I think). You might be able to start with the --incognito flag and uninstall the offending extension. Let me know if that works!

You can press Shift+Esc to get Task Manager in chrome, and then kill the required extension.
