Not if the following happens

1. start copying the file into the directory locally

2. find picks up the file and starts copying to remote server

3. copy to remote server finishes (that was started in 2)

4. copying of the file locally finishes (that was started in 1)

5. touch occurs

so the file would be older the than the timestamp file and hence not get picked up next time.

remote-filesystems(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual				     remote-filesystems(7)

NAME

       remote-filesystems - event signalling that remote filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       local-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  remote-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all remote filesystems listed in fstab(5).  moun-
       tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other
       activity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started to manage remote filesystems.  When it occurs, local filesystems such as /usr
       may not be mounted.  For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

       This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once remote filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on remote-filesystems

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7) filesystem(7)
