It would seem that after the line:
Code:
    $TRANSFER "$FILE" "$TARGET/$TIMESTAMP/$DATE"

you would want to run command something like:
Code:
    if ! cmp "$FILE" "$TARGET/$TIMESTAMP/$DATE" > /dev/null 2>&1
    then printf 'Attempt to copy file "%s" failed.\n' "$FILE"
    fi

presumably replacing the printf command with a call to logger. Instead of redirecting the cmp output to /dev/null you might want to save it in another file and also include the contents of that file with the data you send to logger.
