It should do more, it should block -z from being used with --write-batch.

I didn't have a chance to try it before now.  I see the rsync_argvs is saying
--write-batch instead of --read-batch.

The patch to not turn on -W when using batch mode works ok.

The rsync_argvs file gets written every time no matter what the setup.
Looking at the code, it's clear why:  write_batch_argvs_file() is getting
called from main(), which is run on both the client and server side.
