   Having made a slight cock-up, I want to use rsync to move all the files   
   that exist on one server but not the other into a separate heirarchy.   
      
   More fully:   
      
   I have two identical servers, the second of which rsyncs itself from the   
   other overnight.  This morning, due to an oversight, I put a load of   
   files into a directory structure that were intended to go into a   
   subfolder of it.  What I want to do is rsync from the second server to   
   the first and move files that only exist on the first into a directory   
   tree elsewhere on the server, so that then I can move that extraneous   
   tree back into the originally intended subfolder.  Something like this:   
      
   rsync [usual options] --backupdir=/LocalRoot/Elsewhere   
   rsync://user@second/BackUp/TBD/ /LocalRoot/BackUp/TBD/   
      
   mv /LocalRoot/Elsewhere /LocalRoot/BackUp/TBD/   
      
   However, when I tried the first rsync step with the -n switch to see   
   what would most likely happen, nothing happened until I added a --delete   
   option, then a load of 'deleting ...' messages for the relevant files   
   were printed, but I don't want to actually delete them, I want to move   
   them to their corresponding position in a new & separate tree under   
   Elsewhere.   
      
   I presume that the delete messages mean that the extra files will   
   actually be deleted not moved, so how can I get them to be moved?
