Thanks.

It's the exact reverse of what I want (it mirrors from the server to
the local disk, I want to mirror from the disk to the server) but it
is extremely clueful - the way it assumes a standard (unix oriented)
format for the listing unless a Mac server option is specified tells
me precisely what I need to know.
