Sync ran but files appear missing

[marr]

I am setting up icloudpd for the first time, and confused about something. I ran the container with --Initialise, and logged in successfully. I watched the files sync and eventually stop with a message like "could not connect to ICloud" or something similar. The logs are gone because I restarted my container. I ran sync-icloud.sh manually using docker exec -it icloudpd sync-icloud.sh and saw the download resume from where it had stopped before.
When I look at the mounded location where the files should be, they only are showing up to the first point where they stopped. Ie, none of the files seemed to be put on the mounted dir after subsequent runs. When I inspect the processes on the container, I do have the main thread running on pid 1, and I saw other sync process running on other threads.
Now, the tool doesn't think there is anything left to download. It did seem to go through all the photos, but where they ended up, I do not know. Maybe I need some kind of "force resync" to fetch them again?
