You have a gigabyte left? So you paid for additional room and, when you go to System Preferences...->.Mac->iDisk, it indicates that your capacity minus your currently used amount leaves you 1GB free?

Have you emptied the Trash and resynched your iDisk?

Have you logged into mac.com and checked your allocation settings? There you have control over how much is for email and how much is for data storage. Perhaps your data storage got set low for some reason?

I suggest deleting your local copy of your iDisk and recreating it. Whenever I've had odd iDisk synchronization issues like this one, recreating my local iDisk cleared it up.

Open System Preferences. Choose .Mac. Click iDisk. Wait for your iDisk information to be retrieved. Uncheck the box that says "Create a local copy of your iDisk". Go elsewhere in System Preferences to trigger the change - Mac OS X will ask you if you really want to do this and what you want to do with the old iDisk. Confirm that you want to remove the local copy - it really doesn't matter what you choose to do with the old one unless you have data on there that's not anywhere else and never synchronized. Once that's done, return to .Mac settings and recheck the box mentioned above. Once again, you'll have to go elsewhere in System Preferences (or quit System Preferences entirely) before your change takes effect. You should see a window telling you that Mac OS X is creating a local copy of your iDisk if it worked.
