Remember that the receiving side forks into two processes, I'd guess
that you're just be seeing a single run's two processes.  If so, you
need to fix how your script runs the commands at the same time (it needs
to fork(), use exec() to run rsync from the child process, use system()
to run rsync from the parent process, and then have the parent process
use waitpid() on the child pid to get its return status).
