Thanks.  Would appreciate feedback on a fix.  I see in the code for the
log_formatted() function the filename is special-cased if rsync is sending
the file, but do not understand why this should be special-cased.

I did not want to use the pre-xfer exec, as it's too early (I need to run
after the file is transferred successfully).  Unfortunately, the path info
is not included in the post-xfer exec environment (very unfortunate).
