OK, just use a User Job script for this then.  If you setup this User Job
to only allow running it on the slave/frontend then whenever you turn
on the slave/frontend it would catch up to moving any files local
that needed to be.  If you setup a JobQueue window on the slave
then you could have the machine boot once a day to copy the files
then shutdown when they all were moved.  Since you don't have any
tuners in this slave then you could get away with running mythjobqueue
instead of mythbackend on it as well.

User Jobs get run last after flagging and transcoding.  So your flagging
and transcoding jobs would get run on the laptop and then the User Job
would stay queued up until the frontend booted up.
