2) During the period of time the stream is off, if some new files arrive within the folder /A, I lose the notification to copy it.

How to workaround that?

Make a directory adjacent to /A and /B to use as a staging area for copying. Only copy into the staging area.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staging_area

When the copying of a file is complete, get its inode number. Then rename the copy from the staging area into the actual target folder. After the copying is complete, and the rename is ready to occur, ignore all events that have the file's inode number.
