Notebook sync using Groove

I have a laptop (tablet XP) and a PC (regular XP); both of which have Groove
and Onenote (2007), I'd like to synchronise all of my Onenote workbooks so
that my notes are available - basically a copy on each of the machines and
the most recent version in Groove....
I suspect the answer lies in pointing (synchronising) Onenote at a groove
file sharing folder .
Because I am a demanding geek I'd like to keep all of my notes from both
machines, but I'd settle for retaining the rather massive workbook on my PC
and a work around to import the laptop data.
Some user notes on this please, perhaps presented as a Onenote page? Thanks

My personal opinion is that the use of Groove to sync Onenote is

1. not necessary
2. rather dangerous (see:

Store all your notebooks on a standard file share at your PC,
open them from the PC and the laptop, never close them.
So Onenote will sync them automagically. Within seconds if the both
computers are connected, or after reconnection.

That's the way Onenote is designed. No need for any additional sync SW.
