Michal, perhaps I am missing something, but I think my example is pretty straightforward.
All new files always have different names, and all old files are deleted every time.
I want rsync to enter a subdirectory, bring over the new file, then delete the old file, then repeat.
I used --delete-during, but all deletes for all subdirectories happen first-thing, anyways.
Thanks again... -cheers, CSB
