Apologies for broken link ...

But generally, I would not adopt your approach to solving this problem.  I have five dual-boot PCs (though currently I can only use the 3 that are laptops because my monitor caught fire) and 2 embedded linux NASs  and have needed to reconcile get_iplayer configuration and search data between them, and to do this, I wrote a script called gip.pl, which takes care to write the correct line-endings for the target OS.  Although it's designed to reconcile over a LAN between whatever OSs are running on dual-boot PCs, I think you could modify it fairly easily to reconcile between two locally mounted get_iplayer configurations.  If you were able to achieve this, you could then run gip.pl instead of get_iplayer directly, and if you gave it the appropriate command-line parameters, it would reconcile the two configurations each time it was run before calling get_iplayer(.pl) to perform the downloads. I began to document it, but didn't get very far, but the script has, I think and hope, fairly comprehensive self-documentation in the form of comments:

When I posted this yesterday evening, I didn't think to check that the download link was actually working, which for reasons too complicated and OT to be worth going into here, it wasn't.  I've changed the filename and instructions accordingly, and now it is.
