some issue with using atom sync-settings tool

With the risk of me misunderstanding something, I can't get my packages to sync. I went through the following scenario:

  1. I install new packages on Machine 1 and upload the settings through the "Sync Backup" command in atom. I can see that the new packages are listed in the packages.json file in the gist. On Machine
  2. I restore the settings and can indeed see settings being restored, like keymaps. However I don't get my new packages. I have restarted and reloaded Atom without luck. Are there any extra steps I need to take to get the new packages on Machine 2?

You can try atom-package-sync. It is a package that I created a couple weeks ago. It works a little bit like the synchronization of Google Chrome, you just login and it syncs your packages and settings automatically across all your Atom instances. It is based on package-sync but I find it easier to use.
