That looks exactly like what I'm trying to do for the directory
hierarchy mirror.  I'm still learning to think in Ruby... I keep going
back to C/C++ solutions and other heavy hitter languages... I'll tweak
that and see if I can get it working.  I'll post my results when I get
it running (or I have any other insurmountable problems...).

Thanks,
