I found that I had to include .newsrc.eld in the syncing operation
(whether via rsync or unison) but that, for some reason, I also find
that all the nov files get updated and need re-syncing every time. Very
annoying but so far no problems (other than slowness in syncing).

Please do let us know. I would like to avoid this overhead...
