I thought my post was clear. I merely noted that the program offers 
no built-in facility to automate the process. I quite understand the 
developer's focus on core functionality and the product is excellent 
at what it does. And they will add the facility (as I noted) in the 
next major release, which implies that they see this as a desirable 
feature.

In much the same way that the developer offers sample AppleScript 
scripts, perhaps, Charles, you could make a sample Automator action 
available to those who'd like to try SD? I continue to have success 
with CCC and rsync.
