grsync looks good.  I use rsync regularly but wasn't aware of a GUI
frontend for it.

I'd be careful buying flash memory on eBay, especially from overseas
dealers.  I've read stories of people buying SanDisk branded flash
cards then having the cards fail early in their life.  Then they would
call SanDisk to put in a warranty claim only to discover the card is a
cheap knock-off, ie. not made by SanDisk.
