Yeah, I *thought* this was how it worked. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem
to be correct. At the time I set the directory to "available offline", yes,
I can mark all subdirectories also available. But a week later, when I get
a new client, and create a new subdirectory for that client (or any of the
hundreds of other times I create a new subdirectory...haha...it's only now
hitting me how often I do this), that new subdirectory does NOT get
synched. In other words, anything that was not marked to be available at
the time I set it up has to be done separately when I create it, or when I
get around to it, assuming I remember.
