For those who like puzzles : 

I have 2 environments Windows + Unix (OSX), where people are constantly working 
on photo and video material. As this is a fast moving environment, with data 
storage requirements that are always changing it is quite common for my users 
to connect or move around Firewire/USB storage equipment or eSATA storage. 

When a project is finalized, I would like to have all users move the final 
material into the "Final" directory of their respective drives, and manually 
run a group which will gather the "Final" directories from all machines and all 
drives and store them on a dedicated tape. 

For windows I was thinking of creating the directive as follows 

<< "C:\"> 
+skip:* 
<< "C:\Final"> 
forget 
<< "D:\"> 
+skip:* 
<< "D:\Final"\ 
forget 

and so on. As there are only 24 drive letters it is not so hard. 

On the OSX/Unix side it is more difficult, as the mountpoints are not 
predefined. I was thinking of something 

<< / >> 
+skip:* 
<< Final >> 
forget 

or 

<< .*Final.* >> 
forget 

Anybody have an idea on how to best do this ? 

Thanks, 
seb
