That's actually an OS X error message; your computer can only have a certain number of files open at a time, and you've hit the limit.
If you reboot the machine, does the problem persist?

Yes. Problem still persists. I recently migrated all my data to a new HD, could that have something to do with it?

Doing a bit more research, it looks like there's a limit to how many files a given application can have open.
The first thing I'd like you to try doing is opening up the Sync preferences on your mac, and pressing the "Show Clients" button. A sheet will slide out that shows a list of machines that are syncing with your database and when they last synced; if there are duplicate entries in the list, or entries for machines you don't sync from any more, please remove them from the list by selecting their entry and then pressing the "Unregister" button. If you close the sheet and press the sync now button, does the sync still fail? If so, please send an email to the support ninjas with a link to this forum thread and the output that you get when you post this command into a Terminal.app window and hit return: Code:
lsof -c OmniFocus

No clients show up.
I followed your directions and sent an email to support. Thanks. Last edited by Woodrow; 2008-11-04 at 11:51 AM..

Since I happened to run across this thread again - the original posters' problem was caused by the fact that there were two entries for me.com in their keychain. One was correct, the other wasn't. We were stuck in a loop trying to authenticate with the sync server over and over until the "too many files open" error eventually came up.
