question on reporting bytes transferred

hi, i was reading a rsync log file, and i discovered that the summatory of
each file transfer(in bytes) doesn't match the total transfer for the
operation.
for instance:
 2005/09/28 22:02:06 [1072] rsync to NOC from nocbox
(63.110.176.221<http://63.110.176.221>

2005/09/28 22:02:16 [1072] recv nocbox [63.110.176.221<http://63.110.176.221>]

2005/09/28 22:02:25 [1072] recv nocbox [63.110.176.221<http://63.110.176.221>]
NOC () IdsProcessor/SysLogs/Netraspect/Pix/2005-09-28.log 37227933
 2005/09/28 22:02:25 [1072] sent 28 bytes received 40821968 bytes total size
1274599569
 the summatory of the file's transferred bytes(in yellow) is 48542663. it
doesn't match the received bytes(green)(about 8mb less) nor the total
size(grey)(more than 1gb higher) of the last line.
 what can be the reason of that difference? i thought the "sent/received"
log-line represented the file's original total size and the total transfer
of the operation.
