Sorry, I didn't spot the mistake. This command starts /usr/libexec/activesyncd
with "syncevolution --print-databases username=$email backend=eas-events" as
parameters. It then ignores the parameters and just keeps running.

What I had proposed is different: start a bash inside the D-Bus session, then
the individual commands one-by-one. Each line is a single command.

dbus-session.sh bash
EAS_DEBUG_FILE=activesyncd.log EAS_DEBUG=5 /usr/libexec/activesyncd &
syncevolution --daemon=no --print-databases username=$email backend=eas-events
