ahh..jolly good...forgot the wonderful find options...

so:

    cd $src_dir
    find . -newer reference_file -print0 | xargs -0 -J % cp % $dst_dir
    touch reference_file

Should work?

But I like the rsync option best, b/c, as best as I can tell, it
wouldn't have the race condition of files being missed b/c they were
inserted into the directory after the find command was finished finding
files, but before the touch command.
