Nothing happens; you misunderstand bparchive.  File deletion occurs only
after the backup completes with a status 0.

  find / >foo; bplist <parameters> / | diff foo -

Make appropriate sorting or exclusion adjustments so the format and
order of the two files match; adjust [b]diff threshold parameters to
avoid 2M lines of output when there are mismatches.  diff also has
options to compare multiple files, which could be more useful than one
monster comparison.
