re: Turn off auto sync on 2.2 firmware?
Can't say I'm not a little confused. :) You could click "forget this device" and then log in as a guest. I think that would achieve some of what you want. But you might find that a highly unsatisfactory solution.

re: Turn off auto sync on 2.2 firmware?

Yes that's correct but let me elaborate with an example.  Right now I'm dealing mainly with video files.  I have the video files (.mp4) in a folder called "ZuneTransfer."  Zunetransfer is my main monitored folder for video files on my hard drive.  All of the files were synced with version 1.4 and then I would copy off the .wmv versions to a folder called "ZuneCategorize" which is a holding ground that I use for editing the metadata tags on my video files.  After all of the metadata tags have been completed I move the original .mp4 files to a generic movies folder and the newly categorized .wmv files are placed back in the ZuneTransfer folder.  At this point I would delete all of the uncategorized video file from the Zune and sync the newly categorized .wmv files.  Once this entire process is complete I move the .wmv files from the ZuneTransfer folder into a folder called ZuneComplete.  This allows the process to continue for future videos while still maintaining my old videos in the event my Zune gets wiped out.

Here is where the issue is.  ZuneComplete is not a monitored folder an I don't want it to be a monitored folder.  After I move all of the files from the ZuneTransfer folder to the ZuneComplete folder all of the files are automagically removed from the Zune. 

I hope all this makes sense.  I know it's a convoluted process but the software doesn't allow me to edit the metadata for my videos and the organization is non existant without the metadata.

Okay I think I understand. You don't want it to sync until you press "sync now."  I could have sworn I saw that, but I can't find it.

Very good question.
