That could be the problem, if you can go without scanning those directories until we get this resolved, here is how to
stop syncing them.

If you have an older client, you can do the following:

Get a list of folders you have syncing by entering: u1sdtool --list-folders

This will output something like this:
Folder list:
  id=9372d400-b6b5-4f8f-b400-5ee6c96dc217 subscribed=True path=/home/john/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One
  id=7197b90a-6d15-43c9-9f46-b310539d61c1 subscribed=True path=/home/john/Documents

Using id from the output for the folder, you can stop syncing it using the following command:

u1sdtool --delete-folder 7197b90a-6d15-43c9-9f46-b310539d61c1

I hope this helps.
