I found the solution here: http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=221427. Essentially, you have to change the permissions of the iPhone's var/mobile/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist file to 0777. Like one of the posters on the page cited above, I was unable to use iPhone's MobileFinder to make this change. Instead, I wound up using iPhone's AFPd to mount my iPhone on my Mac and made the change from there. You can use Terminal or any of a number of other utilities such as XRay or FileXaminer.
