Brian,
Oh neat, I didn't even know about the /MON option on robocopy. I need to
read the docs again, it has been a while.

Has anyone ever used unison? (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/)
I have a large file server migration coming up (large being relative -
its only .5Tb - but large for us). We are migrating to a new domain
infrastructure. As such all the SIDs and ownership of files is going
to be messed up regardless. I would like to start copying today with
a final cutover in about a weeks time. Would this list favour xcopy
with the appropriate diff flags and a scheduled task, or should I give
unison a shot for continuous update sync?

I tried to use Unison at home between 2 systems, and even on a wired
LAN it was incredibly slow. It was faster to just copy the whole
files.
Have you looked at robocopy? That's very close to the "rsync"
equivalent for Windows. I use that quite a bit and it works pretty
well. It has an option (/MON:n) where it watches the source and will
update the destination automatically (though I have not used this
myself).
Deltacopy is another option, which is billed as "rsync for Windows".
As long as you're copying in 1 direction only, these tools should do it for you.
