Here is my scripts to sync laptop and desktop:

sync-lapt-desk:
#! /bin/sh
echo "enter the sudo pass:"
sudo /home/tejas/Desktop/bagla #mount script

if [ "$?" != 0 ]; then echo "couldn't mount"; exit 1 ; fi

echo "syncing firefox..." && rsync -rv --delete
/home/tejas/Desktop/firefox/ /your/firefox/profile/ && echo "example1
synced."


echo "unmounting shares..."
sudo /home/tejas/Desktop/ayir # unmount script

bagla:(mount script)
SHA="masaustu firefox thunderbird Downloads"
if [ `whoami` != "root" ]; then echo "you must be root."; exit; fi
	for i in $SHA; do
		echo "mounting $i..."
		mount -t cifs -o iocharset=utf8,user=hede //192.168.2.2/$i
/home/tejas/Desktop/$i
		sleep 3
		if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then echo "mounted $i."; fi
	done

and ayir: (unmount script)

#! /bin/bash	
SHA="masaustu firefox thunderbird Downloads"
if [ `whoami` != "root" ]; then echo "you must be root"; exit; fi

	for i in $SHA; do
		sudo umount -l /home/tejas/Desktop/$i
		sleep 5
	done

Notice here; this script mounts as a root, but sync as a normal user.
And IIRC, this script works. (I tried it on Dapper and Etch.)
