I'll insist that it should be possible, with the only real conflicts 
being what happens when a pool file is created, removed, or renamed. 
Since only the thing that removes or renames pool files is 
BackupPC_nightly, it's relatively easy to eliminate those possibilities 
by controlling when/where it runs.   Creating files should just be a 
matter of  making sure the file creation is atomic with O_CREAT,O_EXCL 
(or the old linking workaround for linux nfs bugs) and handling errors 
by doing whatever you would have done if the file had been there a 
moment before when you looked for it.
