Ah, yes.  That brings up another question.  I had always thought that rsync 
was bi-directional - i.e. it synchronises the source and destination so that 
they are identical.  Then someone said that it doesn't do that at all, it is 
uni-directional.  It's a long time since I read the man page - I'll do that 
today - but any help/guidance/experience would be appreciated.
