For bidirectional synchronization, I would recommend Unison.  AFAIK, it
doesn't have a mode to listen for changes in the background and act on
them immediately, but you could configure a cron job or scheduled task
to invoke Unison every few minutes.  If you encountered a problem with
Unison, you can get help via the "mailing list" at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unison-users .
