A couple of things to consider here (if i'm understanding your goals correctly): - Unison is a utility that uses the rsync algorithm to do bi-directional sync. This means that you don't have to manage the bidirectional rsync options yourself, but just run Unison every time either side changes. - You can get GNOME to run a custom command on insertion of different media types using System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media. I use this to sync my digital camera cards by getting it to run a script which syncs the files (unidirectionally, in this case), then umount the SD card. Then there's no need to run a daemon or poll a driver. A possible down side to this is that you need to be logged in. Paul
