I'm using osm2psql with osmosis to import the minutely replicating diffs 
and get I no errors.

/sql/diffs/osmosis-trunk/bin/osmosis --rri workingDirectory=. --wxc - \

As osmosis is putting the changesets into osm2pgsql via pipe you should 
be able to plug another osmosis task in between to cut out your bbox.

You might want to apply for a toolserver account:

I'm maintaining a (nearly) up2date database in mapnik postgis format, 
but with extended fields (phone, fax, url, opening_hours etc.).
