Well, the shared file is stored in the Documents folder of the iDisk volume, so that's undoubtedly why it is saying that both are in the Documents folder.

Is it possible that OmniFocus used iDisk to store its database up to 12 July?
(It is odd that the little spotlight icon in the conflict resolver window takes me to the iDisk version of the file but the date on the file is not 12 July).
Anyway, I have selected the MobileMe version to try to resolve the never ending conflict.
Thanks

Yeah, the dates can't be trusted, it seems. You've got a disk image of your iDisk on your Mac that holds a local copy of your iDisk files so you can access them even when you aren't connected to the internet. Periodically, a background process connects to the MobileMe servers and compares the files on the disk image with the ones on the server, and attempts to synchronize the changes. Something causes it to get confused with the OmniFocus.ofocus file (which is actually a collection of files, not a single file) and it throws up its hands and asks you which version to keep -- the one that was on the MobileMe server, or the one in the disk image. The sync code in OmniFocus always operates on the copy on the MobileMe server (unless you do something perverse like tell it to do Disk syncing and choose that particular file), so that's the one you want to keep.
