Eric replied with more of what I was looking for. Sure, the -U option will
upgrade, but if I do: rpm -U dir.with.rpms/* .. it will not only upgrade,
but will also install packages if they aren't already installed (which
isn't what I'm looking for). Thanks Larry and Eric for the info.

Try this:

#!/usr/bin/bash
# provide the name of the package on the command line to this script
rpm -q $1
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
        rpm -U $1
fi
