I find the bookmark syncing in Omniweb does not work reliably across 
computers so I have replaced it with Folders Synchronizer, an app which 
allows you to sync files and folders on local and remote machines.

Basically I have a folder on a WebDAV remote drive (just like .Mac) 
which I use FoldersSynchronizer to keep in sync with the OmniWeb folder 
in ~/Library/Application Support/OmniWeb 5. All I need to do is 
double-click the config file FS creates and the sync takes place. I do 
the same thing on my second Mac. Now I can keep both Macs in perfect 
synchronisation.

I haven't tried this with workspaces, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

FS allows you to exclude files from the sync, automatically mount and 
dismount to remote drive and even run at predefined intervals. The next 
step for me would be to have it run automatically when it detects a 
change to the local folder - though I don't know how to get that working.

Hope this helps.
