Unless I'm misunderstanding (very possible), I don't think Tahoe gives you
this.

You do?  How are you thinking this is accomplished?  Are you talking about
using a FUSE file system on one side or the other (on the remote server, I
assume, since it sounds like you're talking about pushing files from the
remote server to the home computer, which is the reverse of what most
people want to do) and then setting up something to automatically copy
relevant files into that directory?

When you run a backup (with tahoe backup, I presume), where are you backing
up to?  Your home computer?

 I think I'm still missing something :-)
