I've wrote a very functional script for you here:
http://gist.github.com/330096

I still feel that, David A. De Graaf and others have noted, your needs still
aren't completely clear. So, instead of continuing to try to get solid
specification out of you, I figured I give you something to try out and then
you would likely realize what needs to be changed. I broke it down and
documented it so you can modify it to meet your needs. But please give it a
try. It's got a built in demo that generates its own test data. All you have
to do is use it as described below and give me feedback.

You can see it in action by copying and pasting this in your shell:
wget
http://gist.github.com/raw/330096/0ca31670b30d344515bb39fae2f9c75b59c18392/compare_script.sh
chmod +x compare_script.sh
awk '/BEGIN UNIT TEST/{p=1};p==1{print}' compare_script.sh | bash

This is the output you would see:
~$ wget
http://gist.github.com/raw/330096/0ca31670b30d344515bb39fae2f9c75b59c18392/compare_script.sh

Creating client directories in /tmp/ for testing...
Removing /tmp/client01 /tmp/client02 /tmp/client03 /tmp/client04
/tmp/client05 /tmp/client06 /tmp/client07 /tmp/client08 /tmp/client09
/tmp/client10
Create a dir structure to prove that it works on deep dirs
Create 10 files in each dir
Copy the images dir over to a movies dir
Remove a file from each of the images dirs
Remove a different file from each of the movies dirs
Put some alternate data in to create non-matching filesizes
Create 10 /tmp/clients (they'll all be the same, but you get the point)
Run the script on all client directories

posts addressed what they thought he was asking.
