Alex, Your method only works for up to 1000 photos or the last month worth of taken photos.
Photo Stream is only used for up to one months pictures and at that, only 1000 as a maximum. So Chris would only be able to sync the last 31 days worth of taken photos, and up to no more than 1000. More over, if the pictures at this time are not in his photo real, or whatever it is that Apple call it, they will not sync up through Photo Stream.
