Practically, I don't think it makes sense to do this continuously. A sleep between runs of at least 5 seconds, will unload your machine so that it can do other things, otherwise it will be quite busy starting and stopping these processes.
I'll let others talk about the specifics of Rivendell, as I'm still getting up to speed on what interactions are between the parts of the system. But, overall, if you are dropping files into the server with simple file copies, with, potentially incomplete files existing on the server, at the time that rsync runs, then it can create incomplete files on the client. When I want to have filesystem synchronization like this going on, I sometimes do things like copy to a different directory, on the same filesystem, and then use "ssh" back to the server, and move (mv) all the new files into the correct directory. Then, they will be complete, because a "mv" on the same file system will be a link and unlink, instead of a copy and remove. Are you populating the server directory with simple file copy/creation operations which can cause incomplete files to be visible to the rsync?
