I get the following error when syncing my iPhone 3GS to itunes:
“Some of the Audible files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone “iphone” because you are no authorized to play them on this computer.”
I tried to deauthorize my account:
Got this confirmation message:
Once this is done, click on Books in the left sidebar menu:
Click play on one of the books:
You’ll get a warning message:
Enter your Audible username and password, then click okay. Â The book will start playing and you will now be able to sync your iphone/ipod/ipad without getting the error message.

I found this thread:

So I contacted Audible on 4/27/2011 and am awaiting their response.
It’s 5/2/2011 and there has been no response from Audible, however I came across a fix to the problem described above by chance and it worked.
