Hey, this project is really great!, I would like to know how to "mirror" two folders in the same machine?

You can use a symlink.

Agreed with @eliseumds, I'm tempted to think that:

ln -s /original/directory /copy/directory

Would be better/what you want.

On the odd chance for some reason that won't work, starting mirror client with a host of "localhost" should work as well.
