Thanks for the help but I've still had no luck with this. The command
now looks like:
backupstoremove.py | rsync -av --progress --no-p --no-g --delete-before
--stats --include-from=- --include=/media/300GIGHD/backups/dar/restore
--exclude="*.dar" /media/300GIGHD/backup

No, rsync will only do that if if you have it
"synchronize" /USBstick/backups/dir , i.e., specify a source directory
that maps to it. Just copying several dirs _into_ /USBstick/backups/dir
does not do the trick. See the description of --delete in the man page.

Apologies, I think I'm wrong about my previous reply, just checked and
--delete is "implied"...
You need to use --delete instead of just the --delete-before. You do
not actually need the "before" bit as this is the default for --
delete.

I have a script transferring some backup files onto a USB stick, which
has limited space. I use rsync 3.0.5 with the following command:
rsync -av --delete-before /local/backups/dir/backup1_todaysdate
/local/backups/dir/backup2_todaysdate
/local/backups/dir/backup3_todaysdate /USBstick/backups/dir
