Ooops. Was I that unclear? The above code is already in pdfsync, and 
should not be present in your preamble. In my innocence I thought to 
patch the \input command to do the same as \include, but as it turns 
out pdfsync does a much more sensible thing: it patches 
\InputIfFileExists{}{}{}, which is used internally by both \include and 
\input, thus fixing both commands in one go.

Can you post the complete preamble of your document, since pdfsync 
should work with either \input{file} or \include{file}. Of interest is 
also the version information on pdfsync, you can find that in the log 
file.
