It took a bit of work to get that snippet working on my system, but it
works well now. On the flip side, the following watches for incoming
changes and automagically calls org-mobile-pull when needed...

;; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3456782/emacs-lisp-how-to-monitor-ch$
(defun install-monitor (file secs)
  (run-with-timer
   0 secs
   (lambda (f p)
     (unless (< p (second (time-since (elt (file-attributes f) 5))))
       ;(message "File %s changed!" f)))
       (org-mobile-pull)))
   file secs))
(defvar monitor-timer (install-monitor "~/Dropbox/MobileOrg/mobileorg.org"$
  "Check if file changed every 30 s.")

  -k.
