Ahh, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying that.

The idea was that the cron job on the server would just call into pulp
tools' sync call to mimic normal sync calls as much as possible. I
didn't want to get into another command line call just for server-side
sync, though it's looking more and more like that's gonna be the solution.

Ya, I don't think it's an ideal solution. More of a hack in the meantime
until I could ask around to what the common solution was. I don't like
the whole two places thing either, it's messy.
