Something got screwed up with my iDisk and I can't fix it.

Everytime the finder tries to access the iDisk I get the spinning beach ball of death forever. That includes shutting off automatic iDisk synchronization, iSync, everything! The finder becomes unusable to the point that I can't even shut down or restart properly. So basically, after a hard reboot I have a few moments of Finder use until some process or another wants to access the iDisk and then I'm screwed. I can't turn it off. Can't get it off the desktop.

I'm stuck in a loop of death. Any suggestions???

It sounds as though your local iDisk image is corrupted and the Finder is stalling while trying to mount it. Try turning off iDisk synching altogether (not just switching off automatic) then trashing the mirror image if it isn't done for you automatically when you turn off Synching (located at ~/Library/Mirrors)
