I'd be inclined to have a directory at work with "files for home". Copy the needed files and push an rsync button to push everything to home as needed. Cumbersome, I know. Hmm, what if you tunnels your won't machine's files as a samba mount for home? Maybe using automount to attach it at need. Forward your local 139 (I think) to 139 at the far (home) end. Then you can smbmount the work windows files somewhere on your home machine for direct access by mutt. If sort all that out you could maybe configure the automounter to mount at need and unmount when idle, perhaps avoiding some pain.
