Why are you doing it this way rather than just using --delay-updates
in a single sync?

--delete --delete-after --delay-updates --numeric-ids

I've played with batch mode before I think it is too complex and prone
to breakage.  What if a sync fails for one whole day?  I need to
manually intervene to do a regular sync?
