Best way to use iDisk as working folder?

I want to have all my important and current files on iDisk (at least for now, since I'm already paying for it), so I can access them from various devices. However using iDisk directly on my Mac is very slow, especially in file dialogs. So my idea is to use the standard 'Documents' folder, and keep this (or better, parts of it) in sync with the local copy of iDisk. I'm planning to do this via unison and/or lsyncd. If any of the 2.5 readers of this blog have any ideas on this, I would be delighted to hear them. Also I'm not sure how to make lsyncd work on OS X, there doesn't seem to be macport.
