Working recursively through the directory contents, first files on only one volume or the other would be noted, then for matching files the time stamps, permissions, ACLs and sizes, maybe even MD5 hashes, would be checked and any mismatches noted. I've had luck using integrit <http://integrit.sourceforge.net/> but it doesn't do ACLs. You could probably trivially extend it to do so, though. Nicholas, Yes, as it turns out I did look at Integrit.  I've filtered through so many utilities that were for Windoze that I lost track.  Anyway, it may be trivial for you to extend it for ACLs and maybe even limit it to sync verification only (i.e. without an associated data base), but not for me.  I haven't used C in twenty some years and I'm primarily using mostly Python now.  I'm getting too old for you techies in your prime :-) I downloaded version 3.05 from <a href="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15369&package_id=12354">"http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15369&package_id=12354">SourceForge</a> and saw all those C modules, so I'm back to looking for something out of the box or Python.  I would not even know how to install it.  I've been spot testing which is time intensive, using dev's FileMerge which doesn't check enough and using Tiger's rsync which isn't ready for prime time yet (I've already filled two bug reports with Apple as the Unix developer said the problems were Apple's "handy work"). Sorry I didn't make it clear that you were dealing with an old dunce.  Lee C
