Not exactly what you're asking for, but if you just want to replicate a
directory structure onto another machine, this is a good method of doing
so:
$ tar -zcvp --same-owner DIR/ | ssh -C root at remote -x \
"tar -zxvp --same-owner -C DIR/"
I used this method while replacing a server to copy home dirs. Works
really well.
