I am using maildirsync for this exact purpose.

  http://code.google.com/p/maildirsync/

I am using the Debian packaged version of it.  (Hmm...  No.  I am
using a locally hacked copy of the previous version of it.  Time to
remember why.)

I would be inclined to use find's -delete option.  No shell quoting
issues that way.

  ssh address@hidden find /home/user/Maildir/new -type f -delete
