I haven't followed the beginning of the discussion so I may be wrong about what it is about ;)
(Sorry if I misunderstood the question)

If you need to copy only modified files from local host to a remote host, you can use a mehod similar to what I have done for updating the http://www.jmol.org/ website.

The Ant script that copy the files to the web server can be found at:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/jmol/Jmol-web/build-deploy.xml?view=markup

It's based on MD5 checksum comparison to decide which files need to be sent.
I keep a cache.properties file to know what has been sent to the webserver.
There's extra stuff on the build file because the cache.properties file is also kept under CVS and can be used from several computers.

-you can use the <different> selector to do byte for byte comparisons of files. But that pulls all the remote data down and can clog a network

Would an MD5 comparison be sufficient?
