Using -a, -t or -c (vvv slow!) does resolve the problem, but now I 
notice that appends to text files results in the whole file being 
transferred (as recorded by 'Total bytes written') rather than just the 
9 characters I append to the file.

Surely this isn't the desired outcome?

Any information much appreciated.
