Not sure that I understand. Is this one directory or a directory tree? How the the files get removed? Anyway...
I would loop through all the files getting name and size (if date cannot be trusted, ignore it). Add name and size to a little database somewhere, timestamping this addition. Or if the entry is present, update size and timestamp. Then loop through database and find entries with old timestamps; process these; remove from database and directory (removal not possible? --- mark as processed in the database.)

scrollkeeper-update
SCROLLKEEPER-UPDATE(8) System Manager's Manual SCROLLKEEPER-UPDATE(8)
NAME
scrollkeeper-update - identify new, modified, or removed OMF files and update the scrollkeeper databases
SYNOPSIS
scrollkeeper-update [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -p database-directory ] [ -o omf-directories ]
DESCRIPTION
This synchronizes the scrollkeeper database with the OMF directory. It searches the scrollkeeper OMF directory to identify if any files
were added, removed, or modified and updates its internal database files to reflect any changes.
This utility is generally executed as the last step of installation, after the OMF file is copied into place. It is also typically the
last step of uninstallation, after the OMF file is removed. Using this, an administrator can easily manually install and uninstall docu-
ments into the database. It can also be run to guarantee the database is fully up-to-date.
Note that because scrollkeeper-update is normally run during installation and its output is typically seen by users, non-critical warnings
and errors such as those caused by invalid metadata are written to the log file instead of to the terminal. Developers should use the log
file to identify any problems.
OPTIONS
-v Be verbose: Say which scrollkeeper-install and scrollkeeper-uninstall commands are being run to bring the database up to date.
-q Run in quiet mode, suppressing output of all but the most serious warning and error messages to STDOUT. Note that most output to
the log file will be unchanged.
-p database-directory
Use database-directory as the directory for the scrollkeeper database rather than the usual one obtained by running omf-config
--pkglocalstatedir.
-o omf-directories
Examine the directories named in omf-directories rather than the one usual one obtained by running scrollkeeper-config --omfdir (or
specified in the OMF_DIR environment variable if set). The omf-directories should be a colon-separated list of directories.
ENVIRONMENT
OMF_DIR
If no -o option is specified, this variable overrides the scrollkeeper-config-provided OMF directory. It should be a colon-sepa-
rated list of directories.
