You are correct and I have considered this. But I would have to be recursing the entire /home looking for changed files. This might take a few minutes by itself. It would add a huge amount of disk load.

Polling for changed files isn't necessary. You can use the inotify (previously fam) mechanism to give you an event when a file changes. See <http://inotify-tools.sourceforge.net/> for more info.
