  -h --help           This is the only help you can get!
  -s --source         This is the source (watched) directory,
                        (default value: /tmp/data/).
  -d --destination    This is the destination (to sync) directory,
                        (default value: /tmp/data2/).
  -v --version        Print version and exit

With the use of subprocess module there is no need of the 
locking mechanism to avoid multiple rsyncs. 
The inotify events are simple queue to a kernel stack 
and then rsync just sychronize the directories just with the diffs.
