Have you considered sharing the bookmarks.html over NFS or SMB?
Put a symbolic link where the files normally go. And be careful you dont 
try to change it from two browsers at the same time.

Alternatively, you could write a wrapper script for the browser that 
downloads the bookmarks.html by ftp/rsync, and uploads it regularly, or on 
exiting.
You could even put some simply file-locking in the script. It would
work for windows too.

I'd like to know of any better alternatives.
