Yes, this does appear to be what is happening.  I actually had tried
looking at the daemon logs, but there didn't appear to be anything
remotely interesting in it.  This is the only line I see in the log:

2003/06/16 16:23:48 [17924] rsync to blah/blah/Blah/ from backup at host
(10.x.x.x)

Is there any way to increase the verbosity for this?  Adding -v's to the
daemon process didn't appear to affect it.  Oh well, I guess it's time to
start debugging.
