Um, why don't you use the rsync protocol to see if it would update the
fullfilelist?  Rsync itself can tell you rather quickly if that file has
changed, and then you're just doing a quick poke on a single file before
turning it loose upon the rest of the filesystem.  No need to actually
pull it down and do any diffing, just see if rsync /would/ download it.
