}

where .rsync contains all of the files (but not the directories) last copied.
I do now want to include directories in the .rsync file
fil3.txt is not deleted from the 192.168.10.190

The total batch file is
#!/bin/bash

SERVER=192.168.10.190
rsync --files-from=.rsync -aruv --delete --ignore-errors --existing 
~/transfer/ $SERVER::transfer/
rsync -LrPvz --delete $SERVER::transfer/ ~/transfer/
rsync -r --list-only --log-format=%L ~/transfer/ ~/transfer/ | grep --
regexp='^-' | cut -c 44- > .rsync

Unless I am missing something the batch file should allow files deleted from 
the ~/transfer/ to be deleted from $server::transfer/

I am having problems with the first rsync command

If I remove the --ignore-errors, it mentions that an IO error has occured - 
skipping file deletion.

If this is a problem in my understanding of rsync, I am terribly sorry.
