The MOST IMPORTANT THING about SharePoint:
Open ULSViewer. Find an entry that has a category of User Profiles. Right-click and Quick Filter for Category=User Profiles
This will show you everything related to the User Profile Synchronization process.
We deleted and recreated our User Profiles Application Service (we destroyed our database because user my sites had no meaningful information.)
We changed the Application Pool account from NETWORK SERVICE to our farm account. We validated all the permissions as stated here: http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups2.aspx
The next fix was to go to Central Administration->Manage Service Applications. Select User Profiles Application Service. Click Permissions in the ribbon. Add the service account.
