Thanks.  Yes, I did use -n first and it gave a list of the stuff I had
moved or renamed - about 100 folders (out of about 1000) followed by

sent 699330 bytes  received 1434 bytes  51.09 bytes/sec
total size is 268601569959  speedup is 383298.19

The command was
rsync -nav --delete --exclude-from=/home/user/.rsync/excludes [followed by
the two drives]

- Richard.
