Uhhhhh, actually, no.  I'm just giving you suggestions to help you out
and not really going deep into your problem with a fine-tooth
comb...that's your job.  :-)  [Not that your sample scripts wasn't
appreciated; I'm sure someone else with more time and expertise can
give it a better look.]

If you're still stuck, how about you consider using something else,
such as "unison".  It is based on rsync and its output seems to solve
your problem.  I use the GUI version and it only lists the files (and
directories) that have changed.  The command-line version may be what
you need...
