Trevor, have you notified Omni of your suspicions? Their customer 
support is well-regarded, and they will likely respond to your 
concerns.

Ironically, Omni makes another application OmniDiskSweeper, which may 
just assist you in further diagnosing your disappearing disk space 
issue. Description from their website:

"OmniDiskSweeper is a Mac OS X utility for quickly finding and deleting 
big, useless files and thus making space on your hard disks. 
OmniDiskSweeper makes this easy by highlighting the biggest files on 
your disks, and by noting which files are used by the system, so you 
don't accidentally delete important files."
