AFAIK rsync itself won't do that, you'd need some kind of system daemon 
and I don't think cron is up to it. Only thing I know of that can do 
what you're talking about is called launchd, this uses XML formatted 
plist files and can invoke rsync when contents of a specified point are 
accessed/altered. Thing is, this is a super-daemon and only for OS X, 
but I do think the source was released, so maybe you could adapt it!!
