Thanks for your help! It looks like this is almost there. It is listing all of the files that have a sequence number lower than what is found in the first directory. But, it looks like it is not comparing the next node of the file:

/dir1/1_400_123456


/dir2/1_400_123456
/dir2/1_399_123456
/dir2/1_398_123456
/dir2/1_300_999999


The script is listing:

/dir2/1_399_123456
/dir2/1_398_123456
/dir2/1_300_999999


Even though the second node of the file is lower in the /dir2/1_300_999999 file, it should not delete this file because the next node is different.

NAME
vifm - a ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings SYNOPSIS
vifm [ options ] [ dir1 [ dir2 ]] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the vifm file manager. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. vifm is a ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings. If you use vi, vifm gives you complete keyboard control over your files without having to learn a new set of commands. For full documentation, visit the doc directory. A better man page may follow later. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. The optional argument dir1 opens an initial directory in the left pane, the dir2 another one for the right pane respectively. If one or both are missing, the current working directory is used. --help Show summary of options. --version Show version of program. SEE ALSO

This manual page was written by Edelhard Becker <becker@edelhard.de>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). Edelhard Becker August 27, 2002 VIFM(1)
