Thanks, it looks like open is a lot closer to what I'm looking for.  
Just one more question with that - it looks like "open" logs reads and 
writes, where I'm really just concerned about writes.  I can see that 
they're distinguished with the "r" and "w" near the end of the log line, 
but is there any way to log only the "w" entries?  I'm sure I could come 
up with a way to filter it using syslog as well, but I was hoping to be 
able to not have them sent to syslog in the first place if there's a way 
to do that.

Thanks.
