Satish, this was really really helpful. Thank you very much for that. I
think my strategy will be to first try starting samba on the Mac and
seeing if I can painlessly use that. If that doesn't look like it's
going to work quickly and painlessly (time will be of the essence) then
I'm going to use rsync as you've outlined above. Thank you again.

Best, Darren
