Because the files were deleted from the source between the
initial tree scan and send_files.
These would be files that meta-data indicates are changed.
send_files is what calculates and sends the deltas.

Not harmful. It is an indication of the volatility of the
source at the time of transfer.
Having some files disappear could result in an inconsistant
state. For example: a web repository where the delete
happens between index.html and gif or link destinations on
which it depends. Just a caution. It could be worthwhile
to test the log for these messages and rerun if their count
exeeds some threshold, say zero. For an active site i'd
suggest double-buffering.
