Well, the mac pro is set up that it had 2 shared drives that the windows
connects to. like so. Mac Pro > Raid & Share < Windows VM. the mac
pro holds the files and the windows vm works with the files.
I was under the assumption that rsync does bi-directional syncing.

Hi,
I have a mac pro and a windows Vm which I want to keep sync. I tired
using other Sync programs but they do not seems to be working. I tend to
leave applications running which create their own temp files in its own
specific folder, which caused the other sync programs to crash. I tired
SyncToy by MS and Unison. I am looking for a bi-directional sync program
that runs in the background and syncs any changes caused to the folder. I
heard that rsync can slove this problem for me, but I am not sure how. Can
any one be of hlep to me?

Why not have a common share point to save your work to? If you are using
VMware or Parallels you can share your Macs home folder with windows through
the the VM software. We have lots of users who do this. It makes backups
However, if you use VirtualBox you cannot. Sadly VirtualBox is easy to
start with but it's hard to do much more than demonstrating it works.
Your virtual machine is very well isolated from the host, the best bet
is to mount a share from a remote server on both (or from your host if
it happens to be a server).
Note: if you use VirtualBox on another platform you might have more
options but on OSX many things just do not work (yet?).
Thanks
Michal
