You mean other than "it won't work"? :-)
You really need to point them both at a neutral country, so to speak; OmniFocus doesn't operate directly on/from the shared copy, but rather its local copy, whether that copy be stored in the iPhone or on your hard drive. When you do a sync operation, it combines what is in the shared copy with what has changed in your local copy and stores the combination both locally and in the shared copy where the other OmniFocus instances will find it. The local copy doesn't do any of the synchronization handshaking stuff with client files and so on, so when your copy of OmniFocus did a sync to your wife's local copy, it would probably start corrupting the data. If you wanted to do syncing via disk, you would want to pick a spot on one machine or the other (or your fileserver, if you have one) and establish the shared data file there, and both copies of OmniFocus would use all the secret handshakes and signals and not step all over the data. But if you do that, you aren't going to be syncing with your iPhones, at least not conveniently...
