Yes syncing won't easily work as one mbox file will overwrite the other 
and as you say, they may contain different entries.
If you use IMAP, that might not be a problem. Of course if you use IMAP, 
then you don't have to share the profiles

That should work as long as you're careful to never access the profile 
from more then one instance of TB as TB may not be aware that another 
instance is accessing the file[s]
