I've got a utility called Free Commander, a free ware version of the
program File Commander, it used to be a Shell replacement, when Windows
allowed such things. It has a couple of modes which will allow views of
all files in a sub directory tree. Which you could save to a text file
and then search for missing strings. I don't know if there was ever a
version of file commander for the Mac, but it's a there might be.

On my trip to Florida I shot a prodigious number of frames, even by my

practicing photographing cars drive past very fast.
Now that it is too late, I realize that I should not have deleted
files off of the hard drives of bad images until I was certain that
everything had been transferred to my home machine. Comparing the
number of K-5 files in lightroom with the delta in the sequence
numbers shows a difference of about 140 frames.
I could just reformat my cards at this point and not worry about it.
Since I don't think I actually deleted as many as 140, I can't help
but wonder if maybe I just didn't copy over that one tremendous photo
after a particular shooting session.
Unfortunately, Lightroom's algorithm for checking if a file is already
in the catalog does not work very well once things have been moved
around. I cannot just put the SD cards in and trust that it will find
those missing files.
If, however, there were an easy way to go through a large number of
files in a large directory tree, on a mac, and detect any large
sequences of missing files (in the format of YYYYMMDD-LRCNNNNN.DNG
(or .AVI) that would tell me right off the bat which files might be
missing, and I could just look on the various cards for files in that
sequence of numbers.
Note that its the NNNNN that I'm interested in, I manually incremented
the first number from 3 to 4 when the four digit counter looped.
I doubt that I'm the first person to run into this issue, does anyone
know of a lightroom plugin or shell script that will do the trick?
