I'm running the same version of Unison on OS X Lion and Ubuntu 11.10; it works great, so far. Now I'm trying to sync multiple folders in one swoop. The official tutorial suggests creating a folder that contains symbolic links to your folders to be synced.

~/work
~/sync/work

This addition to the Unison preferences file, default.pxf,

#Unison preferences file
#
follow = Regex .*

makes Unison follow these symbolic links and copy the actual folders. This much works.

However, on the other computer, these files appear in the location of the symbolic links.

Any ideas on how to make Unison mirror the client file locations exactly on the server?

I've worked around this with scripting. The script reads a list of folders to sync, and calls Unison for each one. The only downside is that each instance of Unison asks me for the password for the computer it's trying to log into. – Peter Becich Feb 5 at 5:46
