Rdist
I guess the standard Rdist utility could solve the problem,

Below is the same script that we can be used to identify the files/directories on in sync between the two machines,

#Create a Distfile on the Localhost
cat Distfile
#Distfile1
/tmp/A -> remote_host
install /tmp/A;

Assuming on the Local machine,we have under /tmp
./A
./A/B
./A/B/C
./A/B/C/D
./A/B/C/D/d
./A/B/C/D/d1
./A/B/C/c
./A/B/C/c1
./A/B/C/c2
./A/a


#On the local machine run,

rdist -vf Distfile

If on the remote machine only /tmp/A exists then,

Output:
updating host remotehost
need to install: /tmp/A/B
need to install: /tmp/A/a


You may require the ~/.rhosts file to be setup on the remote host( in case of rsh protocol ).Please search for rdist in the forum.


Thanks,

NEW(1)                                                               [nmh-1.5]                                                              NEW(1)

NAME

       new - report on folders with new messages

       fnext - set current folder to next folder with new messages

       fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages

       unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages

SYNOPSIS

       new [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]

       fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext

       fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev

       unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen

DESCRIPTION

       New  in  its  default  mode  produces  a  one-line-per-folder  listing of all folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the
       sequences listed in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence".  Each line contains the folder, the number of messages in the  desired  sequences,
       and the message lists from the .mh_sequences file.  For example:

            foo     11.* 40-50
            bar    380.  760-772 824-828
             total    391.

       The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder.  The last line shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.

       New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order.  Override this behavior by provid-
       ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should check, one per line.

       In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.

       In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile          The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path:                To determine the user's nmh directory
       Current-Folder:      To find the default current folder
       Unseen-Sequence:     The name of the unseen message sequence
