I made this change and it does indeed get TimeMachineGrowler working
again, but it doesn't seem to be parsing the logs properly.  It only
gives a notification when the backup finishes and lists the time it
took as being several hours, increasing each time. (6 hours, 10 hours,
13 hours, etc)  It looks like it'll take a bit more than the basic
change to fix it.  As near as I can tell, it simply doesn't pick up
the started and cancelled log entries.  Looking at the log in
Console.app, they haven't changed, so something else must be causing
the issue.
