looking for a program that will synschronize files between directories:

1. If file A in directory A is older than File B in directory B, copy
file B from directory B to directory A overwriting file A in directory
A.

does this make sense?

something like "My Briefcase"

ThirDir is similar to directory synchronizers. Unlike usual ones
this one copies the newer files to the third directory defined by user
(of course,the third one can be the same as the second one, if you want).

There are many reasons for comparing or synchronizing the contents of
two folders. Perhaps you want to compare a newly installed program to a
previous installation, or perhaps you're moving files between two
computers. You could open each folder in an Explorer window and compare
the files one by one, but this approach is prone to error. WMatch 2
makes it easy to compare and synchronize folders. It displays two
folders side-by-side, and highlights the differences using special
colors and font styles. You can then use this information to decide what
files to copy, move, or delete. This new version adds numerous features.
Network support allows you to compare folders on different computers.
The updated interface uses tree controls for fast folder selection.
Comparison tests check whether files of the same name and size are truly
the same. View options let you display only files that are alike,
different, newer, or older. The new filtering capability lets you use
wildcards to restrict the display to a subset of the files in a folder.
For convenience, you can start WMatch 2 from the command line using
parameters to specify the manner of display.

Have a look to j4copy:
http://j4copy.free.fr/

It is portable since it is coded in Java. This is a pro and a con at the
same time though ;-)
An interesting feature of j4copy is that you can make backup of
overwritten files...
