gc, I also use SugarSync and my thinking is that you need to start having SugarSync synch the Legacy Family Trees and the Legacy Charts directories which you will find in the Documents folder. This is so your family files will always be in synch.
In respects, to your media files I assume the overall directory is Genealogy Stuff. You need to only change your location in Legacy to point to this directory to look for media items in it or to any of Genealogy Stuff's sub-folders. SugarSync will continue as always to synch between both computers as before. By the way, *.ldb files are MSAccess logical files which are created and destroyed when Access files are opened and closed. These files never need to be transferred between computers. These files will be destroyed each time you close Legacy and will not be transferred. Make sure you close Legacy after each use. Hope this helps.
