There's always the pseudo-hackish way: add a flag to psync which causes it
to delete .DS_Store files in empty directories before rm-ing them. Ugh. Osx
finder...

Ah, for a moment I thought that would be useless becayse psync would just
re-sync the DS_Store, but if it goes through and cleans first then it would
work, xlnt. Just did that (but didn't test psync since it will copy 4GB of
my mail) :)

Dude, ditto. Also this is minor. Psync has never fscked up on me and I
consider this an extremely minor annoyance at worst.. Deleting a couple
empty folders from a perfect bootable backup copy of my box is not a big
deal :)
