I also see entry in top for ata/0,ata/1,ata/2, ata/3, scsi_eh_4 and hald_addon_storage devkit_disks_da randomly coming up which are also new
The messages show about every one to two seconds like it is scanning my drives
there are currently no shared files in ubuntu one folder and no passwords stored for ubuntuone in password manager
or couch

also the setting preferences is set for zero bandwidth but when preferences opened again setting back to max 2048

I think there is a workaround for this problem as I believe it's related to bug 455544 which occurs when the bandwidth preferences are set to the defaults. If you delete ~/.config/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf and restart the Ubuntu One client, you should be able to connect.
