Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware that this was possible.

The main reason I'm doing it this way (i.e., initiating rsync from
the mirror machine) is to make management easier. Rescheduling mirror
jobs, or turning off mirroring, is then just a matter of reconfiguring
the mirror server, rather than having to make changes to many individual
client machines.
It would be doubly nice to have an arrangement that required no
modification of the remote NT machines. This would make it easy to mirror
new machines as they're deployed, without having to install and configure
extra software on each machine. As I said earlier, this can already be
done with the combination of smbfs/rsync, but I'm looking for a more
reliable solution. (Like, possibly, an rsync-enabled smbclient.)
