Just "rm" files (and "rmdir" empty directories) from base/etc that have counterparts in server/etc/ ; I can't come up with any better solution. I don't think you need to list modifications because, by virtue of your --compare-dest option, rsync will only copy files to server/etc/ that differ from their counterparts in base/etc/ . (Perhaps you were trying to handle the case where a file that previously differed among servers becomes the same, but it's not clear to me how that would have worked.)
