Well not to put words in the original poster's mouth, but what *I* would 
want is the ability to deal with the scenario where I add a new tag to 
photo1.jpg on machine A, and a new tag to photo2.jpg on machine B, and 
after running the sync seeing the tag on photo1.jpg on machine B and the 
tag on photo2.jpg on machine A.

given that metadata is stored in a single database, a file level sync 
like rsync or unison will never be able to do that.

I assume that this 'Conduit' project mentioned in another post is doing 
database level syncing.

of course, there's also the issue of conflicts.   What if we remove 
photo1.jpg on machine A, and add a tag to photo1.jpg on machine B? 
what if we perform red-eye fixing on one machine, and a contrast adjust 
on the other...
