lion eating my hard drive space

Installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and iMac and the same thing is happening on both. If I Get Info on the hard drive I can literally watch the "used" bytes rise. My hard drive space is disappearing right before my eyes.

Brought MacBook into Apple Store and they told me to reinstall Lion - did that and it didn't fix.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Apple store says it's related to the Autosave stuff but I assume my two machines aren't the only ones this is happening to.

Need some help!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5)

My Mail program receives my gmail. Inside Mail it is duplicating the same file over and over again, throughout Mail related folders - size varies but name is the same - 5F490A2E-90A2-4653-A165-2EBA83018624. I delete it on OmniDiskSweeper but it keeps coming back, in various folders, all in Mail. It is frequently accompanied by a tiny file - a few KB - called info.plist

It can eat up several gigs a week. Anyone have any ideas?
