Google Sync and XMarks--Sync Problems

So go into Chrome" Tools" -- "Options"  -  "Personal Stuff" and under "Sign In" go to "Advanced" and untick the box to override the syncing of "bookmarks" .

If it is real persistent and does override Xmarks in Firefox simply go into "Tools" in Firefox and under Xmarks  "synchronize now" and go to "restore" and restore it back to another date besides the day you had the sync problem...
a bit technical but you can do it....
