Well my problem is that XferLOG.z is zero length for a good long
time. Even after files have been transferred (as determined by running
lsof and strace on the remote rsync server) it is still empty.

I assume it is bufferend and written in such large chunks that is
isn't really that useful for following operations in realtime.
