Was wondering if anybody had any success doing windows file syncronization across domains (1 way and 2 way).

Currently I am using DeltaCopy (a windows wrapper for Rsync), however I sometimes have permissions issues with the copied files, it seems to be flaky on copying Windows ACL's. There's a work-around posted on the DeltaCopy site that I have implemented, however it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Right now I just have a script that runs after the sync is completed to fix all the permissions, but I was wondering if anybody had run into a better solution.
 
I take it these are 2003 servers? The DFS that's built into 2000/2003 works pretty well, and the newer DFS Replication stuff in 2003 R2 makes it a lot easier to set up and understand.

It's pretty much made for exactly what you're trying to do.
