I don't claim to be an expert, but if you have to sync 2 home directories I would look at Unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/).
That looks feasable; as long as the box is happy with two accounts having the same UID, it should be OK (I guess that was the trick I was missing). Worst comes to worst, I guess I could use some form of local rsync or whatever.
