additional messages could be better in this case.

push from rsync client to rsync daemon. one example is in receiver.c
line 652, rsync daemon try to open/create a file but failed, so rsync
daemon here know exact which file it is working on, so if rsync daemon
can pass this info back to rsync client, rsync client can save this to a
file.
