Um..It _is_ deleting the file from my target tree.

Yes, it is backing it up, so it isnt really gone, but whats the harm 
in printing a message saying it is deleting it from the target tree, 
because it is doing that.

All I am trying to do is find out what files are going to be deleted 
from my target tree using --dry-run --verbose before actually running 
the command. 

It is misleading to not print the message in --verbose but boom, the 
file is gone from my target tree when I take out the --dry-run.
