Not entirely sure if this is helpful or not, but there is a program called Unison
We use unison extensively, it's a handy tool although I'm not sure it'll do what Chris wants.
That said, I'm not entirely sure what Chris wants; copying files across a network where they don't already exist at the destination would presumably incur an overhead for rsync, so I'm assuming that there is already a reasonably full set at the destination and the idea is to update the changes?
I think we need to know much more about the size and number of files, and whether the destination already has copies which need to be updated, etc. The quickest way to copy a single 2GB text file almost certainly isn't the same as the quickest way to copy 2 million 1K zip files!
