It mentions rsync batch processing. I just now took time to search for
batch in the rsync man page. That leads to BATCH MODE, which looks like
what you want.

On my dapper box I've got version 2.6.6 and the man page lists BATCH MODE
as experimental.

On my gutsy box I've got version 2.6.9 and the man page doesn't declare
BATCH MODE as experimental.

ciao,
