Yeah, it's a known bug that -n doesn't mention everything that rsync
would output if -n wasn't specified.  I've also noticed that rsync
sometimes does things _without_ -n with no mention either -- for
instance, if it changes a file mode or an owner (but nothing else about
the file) it doesn't output anything.  This is something that we should
look into fixing.
