Yes, this looks like a bug.  An error will be written to the per-client
LOG file.  But in this case the XferLOG file isn't closed before exit,
so the cached compressed data isn't written, nor is the file renamed to
XferLOG.bad.z.  So as you noticed you just have an empty XferLOG.z file.

It's very easy to fix... in BackupPC_dump just call BackupFailCleanup()
instead of exit(1) in the cases where DumpPreUserCmd (or any *UserCmd)
fails.
