Hi Neil,
   OK, so I tried Unison and, twice, it just gets stuck at the same
file. I'm running it like this:

unison /home/mark/music /mnt/Musiclib 

The gui comes up and the program gets started but then it just hangs.
There's no obvious network activity or local disk activity. If I let
the program sit long enough for the screensaver to kick in then when I
unlock the screen the program is just a grey box.

So far I cannot even kill the thing. kill -9 pid or killall -9 unison
act like they killed it but ps aux says the process is still there.
It's even there if I try killing the gui in Gnome. The gui goes away
but the process persists.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Mark
