as I've said in other posts, I've had problems with unison especially 
going from Linux to windows to flash.  Usually in some form of 
permissions problem that's completely obtuse and I just shrugged and 
ignore it.  If the files are important, I copied them and hopefully the 
permission problem does not follow.

but I found another system which looks to be much more interesting than 
unison in terms of its ability to synchronize across N systems. 
unfortunately, it seems to be a bit of abandoned ware and it's based on 
plan nine libraries which may or may not be a good thing.

if you have the cycles and one to rejuvenate it, it looks like he would 
be significantly better especially for those of us that want to 
synchronize parts of home directories across multiple machines.
