We can also see the task marked as running in the Admin tab of the WebUI, but if we let it, it never stops. The task runs indefinitely, whithout ever doing anything. 

If you've never modified the default memory settings, Taskomatic is probably running out of memory and task is crashing. This is a known issue, particularly when you sync large repos.

I would suggest increasing the memory assigned to Taskomatic to see if that resolves the issue. You will need to restart it after making these changes: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E92593_01/E90695/html/swk24-issues-memory.html
