Thanks for the much clearer explanation of what's going on. Hopefully  
this will help.

1. Turn off syncing.

2. Restart or log out/in in order to make certain that the change is  
in effect, and that your iDisk does NOT rely on the "local" (ie your  
HD) copy of the iDisk contents.

3. Mount your iDisk. (from the "Go" menu in the Finder toolbar).

4. Open your "Sites" folder and trash the contents. You will get a  
warning about this. WAIT (because it will not happen instantly like  
it did with your local/sync iDisk) for this process to finish.

5. Once the Sites folder is empty, dismount the iDisk by dragging it  
to the trash (as you would any other removable disk).

6. Now go back to the "Go" folder and RE-MOUNT the iDisk. Open the  
Sites folder and check to see that there are ZERO items.

7. Now go into RapidWeaver, set your site the way you want it, and  
"export" or "publish" it to the desktop.

8. Now copy your "new" site pages into the Sites folder. This will  
take a LONG time compared to when you had syncing on. Be patient.

That should solve the problem.
