thanks so much for this.  Two questions:
-I'm not quite sure what the /some/path/** lines signify -- are they
different from /some/path/* ?
-Is it necessary to stop/restart the evolution-data-server before &
after synchronizing?  If so, how do you do it (I can imagine a script
that logs in remotely, executes a script on the remote server, logs
out, then proceeds to sync)?

Thanks again,

matt
