I do this regularly, using 'unison'
<http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/>.  I don't ever try merging
anything.

If you're just adding transactions, the merges are probably easiest by not
merging the data file, and just replaying the extra log file.

But, if you have a central sync point, and are diligent about always
syncing before and after running Gnucash on the remote machines, it works
quite well.  It's how I work on my laptop.
