Rsync is definitely what you want to use. It has a number of switches to 
check for existing files, over-write/ignore, delete when moved, even 
delete dest before move (for overwriting a new file with the same name: 
good for daily recordings) etc.

And add a 'mount' command to ensure that the remote host is available.
Then grep the output for a failure report and exit the script if found.
