Why use rsync when you can just set it up as an SMB share?

Example mount command, assuming you're sharing the CD drive as "DIRECTCD" and
you're mounting it on /mnt/directcd (note GPG will wrap this; it should be
all one line):

mount -f smbfs -o username=******,password=******* //smbserver/directcd
/mnt/directcd
