Syncing works well enough—though I can see no difference between method =min and method=max, both highlight only a few words and not the entire text to be synced, but perhaps my expectations are out of line.

When I have these lines at the top of a component file and typeset the product file, I get a rootfile.synctex file, but syncing itself goes awry. Nothing happens when I sync from the PDf file to the component file, and when I sync from the component file to the product PDF, I get the correct page but no highlighting.
