Obviously the paths would change based on where they actually live and since I want this to live outside of an individual user, pointing to the user paths would make no sense in a production case.
Also on WSL, if you go into /mnt you can get a list of all of the disks that are mounted on your Workstation/Server.
In the case of my workstation I only have the 1 disk, so only c is listed. Severs would likely have other drives.
@JaredBusch : I'm not certain if this fits the bill, but what about the "diff" command? Of course, this does nothing to sync the files but does offer a way to simply compare the directories.
diff -rs manxam jaredbusch
This will get you :
Files /home/manxam/TEST and /home/jaredbusch/TEST are identical
Only in /home/manxam: i_am_manxam
Only in /home/jaredbusch: you_are_jared
works perfectly when one specifies the correct data directory on the source.
/home/owncloud/data/

I hate that. You always have a few outliers before you standardize on things and they are always the gotchas. This has happened to me on many occasions.
