Hey,

I've started working on a custom client + ownCloud plugin to support such functionality.  I haven't uploaded my code so far (its only in the beginning stages), but I can push my git repos to my scratch area if you are interested in taking a look.  My eventual ideal solution would include rsync like file transfer and 2 way push notification of any file changes.
