I didn't realize the complexity of the problem, but this makes complete
sense.  You are right, I guess what I am looking for is a script that
will mount a second disk image to hdb, copy the files from a certain
directory within the qemu disk image to a destination on the host,
and remount the disk image once those files have been copied.  and vice
versa; monitor the host directory for file changes, unmount the qemu
hard disk, transfer the files, and remount the disk.

this could turn into a complex beast, especially if the qemu guest os
locks down the disk image; meanwhile the user updates files on the host
and expects to see the changes within qemu.  also, the guest os could get
upset if a drive is randomly unavailable for lengthy amounts of time.
