The "remote" share needs rsync enabled. I have it enabled on the local share also (not sure if that is required or not)
If rsync is selected as the file protocol, then the "remove deleted files on target" option should be enabled on the advanced backup tab.

Here’s my question, is there setting that would delete just the files on the USB that did not match the files on the NAS?
There is, but it requires that you use rsync as the backup protocol.
That works, you just need to set the backup job up with a remote source, using localhost (127.0.0.1) as the IP address.
So go to NAS, system, settings and services and turn on Rsync
Then create new backup task, under source click REMOTE and use the IP you provided?.... or that was an example and I should my NAS' IP address.

127.0.0.1 was not an example - see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost
However, the ReadyNAS IP address will also work.
To make this work correctly, do I need to enabled Rsync on the SHARE under the network access tab?
In the Options tab of Backup task, would should I have selected? Remove the contents? Does this tab even apply when you using Rsync. Isn't Rsync matching the destination folder to the source folder?
Page 222 of the readynas 6.5 manual talks about advanced settings for Rsync backup........but I can't do anything in the advanced tab, the features are grayed out.
