Have a look at Mirrordir - written by Paul Sheer of Obsidian systems in
SA. www.obsidian.co.za/mirrordir/ - I think there is a link on SourceForge
as well.

I think you will find it does more than what you are wanting it to do, ie
it will mirror an entire file system, not just a directory ;-)

Hope that helps

Roger
