So far, so good. Notice, though, that every file has a "short address" (the files name) and a "long address" (the fies name and its full path).
This works similar to telephone numbers: if you give someone your number without a regional area code and country code it will work as long as the person is in the same area as you.
But once outside this area you need to give him your area code too to make it work
and to make sure the number works from whereever he is you will have to add the country code too:
The same is true for files: you can address them by their name only, but then you will only find them if you happen to be in the same directory. If you aren't you won't. To make sure you find them regardless of where you are provide a full pathname instead. In this case the files name is not
but rather
As a general rule: to make sure files are always found regardless of from where you call a script use always the long form of (so-called) "absolute path names" when you address files inside scripts.

rsnapshot-diff(1)rsnapshot-diff(1)NAME
rsnapshot-diff - a utility for comparing the disk usage of two snapshots taken by rsnapshot
SYNOPSIS
rsnapshot-diff [-h|vVi] dir1 dir2
DESCRIPTION
rsnapshot-diff is a companion utility for rsnapshot, which traverses two parallel directory structures and calculates the difference
between them. By default it is silent apart from displaying summary information at the end, but it can be made more verbose.
In the summary, "added" files may very well include files which at first glance also appear at the same place in the older directory
structure. However, because the files differ in some respect, they are different files. They have a different inode number. Consequently
if you use -v most of its output may appear to be pairs of files with the same name being removed and added.
OPTIONS -h (help)
Displays help information
-v (verbose)
Be verbose. This will spit out a list of all changes as they are encountered, as well as the summary at the end.
-V (more verbose)
Be more verbose - as well as listed changes, unchanged files will be listed too.
-i (ignore)
If verbosity is turned on, -i suppresses information about symlinks, directories, and special files.
dir1 and dir2
These are the only compulsory parameters, and should be the names of two directories to compare. Their order doesn't matter,
rsnapshot-diff will always compare the younger to the older, so files that appear only in the older will be reported as having been
removed, and files that appear only in the younger will be reported as having been added.
