as i like your BackupPC_digestVerify with the "-a Add rsync digests if missing" 
...

what about to give the user the abillity to auto-create these caches on the 
first run (meaning that part of your script to be included in main)?
Maybe some users want the penalty of a longer "first initial backup"?

some kind of checkbox "autocreate checksums on new files" (defaults to no)
+ FAQ-Entry: - this function will create checksums on first creation and not as 
usual on the 2rd sync
???

Greetings

Mike
