Can't you just do:

	rsync --del --one-file-system \
	-av /path/to/fs1 /path/to/fs2 \
	[more paths...] \
	you at remotehost:/path/to/backup/tree/.

?

I think this does exactly what you want, at least w/ rsync version
2.6.6.

I also use SSH exclusively for transport and you could use SSH as well
(w/ public key authentication) to eliminate the password prompting
altogether.

Or maybe I'm missing the point entirely?  Forgive me if I am; I can't
multitask as well as my OS. :)
