You could do it with RULEs. Here is an example how you would do the DELETE.

CREATE RULE copy_one_to_two AS
ON DELETE TO one
DO
DELETE FROM two
WHERE two.fileda=OLD.fileda
AND two.filedb=OLD.filedb
AND two.filedc=OLD.filedc;

You should change the where clause if you have a primary key on that table.
I am presuming fileda/filedb/filedc are unique in combination...
Read the section of the docs about RULEs for INSERT and UPDATE examples.
