I don't know if it's the actual problem but I think this happens because your exported OMF stores timing data as video frame positions instead of audio sample positions, so the accuracy is only say 25/sec instead of 44100/sec. The way OMF stores item positions (distance to previous item instead of absolute position) is quite vulnerable to cumulative rounding errors. There is a good chance that every item on a track adds a drift of 2 frames if the developer of the exporter application doesn't watch out.

Anyway, it you re-import your OMF in Cubase and you also run into sync problems, blame it on Steinberg. If everything is lined up correctly though, blame it on me
