I solved something like this by duplicating the directory structure -- 
but don't stop reading yet!  -- using _hard links_.  That way you can 
put the desired files in any number of places but each only takes up 
space once (assuming they are on the same filesystem).

A simple rsync script keeps the links up to date.

Read the rsync man page.  The important parameter is --link-dest=DIR
