The thing that I liked about this implementation (and had it bookmarked for over a year before putting in place) is that it was relatively easy to parse out with a minimum of shell scripting knowledge.  As such, it is easier to comprehend for somebody with a predominantly Windows background. 

(Not a knock on Shadowmountrsync, just my comprehension at the time.  Speaking of which, Jeff posted an update to the shadowmountrsync script to the list recently, if you're interested)

Anyways, since the scripts aren't very long, it makes it easier to understand the chain of events that make it all happen as there isn't a ton to debug.

Thanks for that information.
