I believe that it's not possible via the PlaylistManager class, but you 
could use some other python library to watch the folder (I don't know 
which but I guess there is one out there). I've written an extension to 
pick a folder for playlists and then manually import or export from it, 
so if you want to add an auto sync functionality you can use that code. 
Beware though that it's very easy to corrupt your playlists when you 
automate the improt/export stuff because RB automatically removes songs 
from playlists if it doesn't find them (which doesn't normally happen 
but when you reorganize stuff or use other apps on your library it's a 
risk). Here's my plugin:
