Okay, just wanted to make sure that the problems weren't the result of iDisk attempting to sync OmniFocus databases and making a mess of it (OmniFocus writes directly to the WebDAV server, so there's a race condition if you also have your Mac attempting to sync some potentially stale data).

I am getting messages like "could not find iDisk" or something like that, and "500 error" or something like that. I don't get them every day, but they have been happening every few days or so. When I get the error, if I manually sync OmniFocus again, the sync works fine. Odd. I have not lost any data as a result, so it's really just an inconvenience more than anything.

And indeed, this sounds like a hiccup on the MobileMe server of some sort.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I have already synced with OSS before. There doesn't appear to be a way to remove old sync data from OSS, so how would I handle that issue as well when I move from MobileMe to OSS?

The instructions I supplied should work.
It is possible to remove the old sync data. In the Finder, use Go->Connect to Server... to connect to https://sync.omnigroup.com/<username>/ which will mount the directory, allowing you to go remove the OmniFocus.ofocus file. I've noticed that after a few hours, the Finder seems to get confused and thinks the file is an alias, and I need to eject the volume and mount it again if I want to do something like Show Package Contents on the OmniFocus database.
