You could map a drive from the samba server to the w2k machine

you could have a script set up in cron to do a check on smbstatus to see 
if the machine is logged on and then use rsync conditionally

You could also use the samba server as a domain controller and use a 
batch script to syncronise upon login / logout

Kind regards
