The read-batch option expects the destination tree that it is updating

if the command got updated. If you wish to force the batched-update to
always be attempted regardless of the file's size and date, use the -I

The --dry-run (-n) option does not work in batch mode and yields a runtime

You should use an equivalent set of options when reading a batch file that
you used when generating it with a few exceptions. For instance
When reading a batch file, rsync will force the value of certain options
to match the data in the batch file if you didn't set them to the same
as the batch-writing command. Other options can (and should) be changed.
For instance
--write-batch changes to --read-batch, --files-from is dropped, and the
--include/--exclude options are not needed unless --delete is specified
without --delete-excluded. Other options that affect how the update
happens should generally remain the same as it is possible to confuse rsync
into expecting a different data stream than the one that is contained in
the batch file. For example, it would not work to change the setting of
the -H or -c option, but it would work to add or remove the --delete
option.
