Re: rsync most recent files from large source

What's happening is that rsync is transferring all the files each time
it's run, whether they've changed or not. As well, if the file listing
changes, rsync is not deleting the older files from the destination.

Add the -a flag to store dates (amongst others).

Add --delete to remove files files from dest, if they don't exist in source
anymore.
