Just tested it with rsync. It seems to work.

rsync overwrites a file with the name mydoc.pdf with a folder with the name MYDOC.PDF (containing mydoc.pdf, manifest.xml, created by the iLiad). The other way around is not possible.

So:
- rsync your pdf files to the memory card
- open pdf's on iliad and scribble etc creating folders
- rsync the documents back to the pc which will replace pdf files with folders containing the pdf and the manifest file

Disadvantage is that the folder structure is changed (files become folders containing the files on the pc side), but I don't mind too much.

My only question now is if I can have a directory tree on my sd card with pdf files in many different folders. Contrary to my previous message I think now this is possible.
Great!!! Thank you for the information. This seems to be the best solution I've seen so far. I will try that immediately. Change in the folder structure on the PC side is a little bit of an issue, but I cannot complain too much as this is perhaps the best solution out there.

Once again, thank you for sharing!
