The "-u" option does skip "newer" files on the receiver, but it still doesn't do the full bi-directional sync. You could script to fire off a second rsync to do the sync back again, but then you'd have to handle the details of resolving (or at least saving) conflicts. I think the point of the "unison" program is that they've already thought through all those weird combinations for you.
