rsyncd log in common log format?

I'm having trouble getting rsync to output the log into common log format.

My web statistics program Webalizer (www.webalizer.org) wants the logs in 
Common Log Format (httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_log_common.html). 
Briefly, that's a string
  host ident authuser date request status bytes 
subject to some conditions (for instance, the date is in square brackets).

My rsyncd.conf file has these line

  log file = /var/log/rsyncd
  log format = %h - -  [%t] "%f" - %l

But true to the documentation, becuase there is a log file, each log line gets
a prefix (the date and the PID) that I don't want.  Here are a typical three.

  2002/02/27 21:22:44 [2002] UNKNOWN - -  [2002/02/27 21:22:44] "yi4latex/tfm/yir-3.tfm" - 1176
  2002/02/27 21:22:44 [2002] UNKNOWN - -  [2002/02/27 21:22:44] "yi4latex/tfm/yir-4.tfm" - 1176
  2002/02/27 21:22:44 [2002] UNKNOWN - -  [2002/02/27 21:22:44] "yi4latex/tfm/yir-5.tfm" - 716                           

What can I do to get rid of those?

Thanks,
Jim Hefferon
