That is not going to work either!
OK, if you create a dir on the second DC, it is now synced to the first 
and vica-versa, deletion is quite a different matter.

If you delete a dir on the first DC, is is also deleted on the second.
If you delete a dir on the second DC, it gets put back from the first DC.

OK, after a bit of thought, I have come up with a couple of scripts that 
use inotifywait & rsync, these seem to work, if you create a dir on one 
DC it is synced to another, if you delete a dir it is deleted from the 
other, also the way the second script is written means that it should 
work with more than two DC's, anybody want to test it ??
