Strange, I always thought unison can work off-line.
How about this one?

it can: you can sync two local directory trees. i use unison to keep a
directory on my work box in sync with one on my home laptop. the two
machines are not connected through a network. (well, they could be, because
they both have internet, but when one is on, the other is usually off.) i
sync one machine to a usb drive, and then take the drive to the other
machine and sync again.

But the thing is, can it syncronize a dataset that's larger than the USB?

nope, AFAIK it cannot.
