install csync2 on alice.demo and bob.demo
generate "key" file
edit config file

optionally initialize local database with what is already there
 (csync2 -crvI /)

now, nothing is dirty:
alice.demo# csync2 -M ; echo $?
2

assuming you have "include /csync2/demo;"
alice.demo# touch /csync2/demo/something

but it does not know this yet:
alice.demo# csync2 -M

make it notice:
alice.demo# csync2 -cvr /
Marking file as dirty: /csync2/demo/something

ask it again:
alice.demo# csync2 -M
chary   alice.demo      bob.demo        /csync2/demo/something

works as expected (for me).

What did you expect?
