Hi,

But I just want to perform a simple move. This will perform a copy of the
files, and remove files in /dirC/dirB that should still be there.

After the copy of the file is completed, the file in the SOURCE should be
deleted. But --delete will delete files from the DESTINATION that are not in
SOURCE, so the complete opposite of what I want :)

I assume I have to write my own script for this that copies FILE BY FILE and
checks if it was copied correctly, and then delete it from the tmp dir.
