Not one line but short:

cd dir1
for FILE in `find . -type f -print | sort | cut -c3-`
do
 cmp $FILE ../dir2/$FILE
 if test $? -ne 0
 then
   echo "$dir1/$FILE und $dir2/$FILE sind verschieden!"
 fi
done

The output of find is not sorted alpahbetical, that's why
I'm sorting it. Further is the output preceeded by "./"
which I'm cutting of (cut -c3-).

Tschu-huuus!
