The dry run was successful, and transferred 0 bytes.  The dry run is for a 
quick check, and will show what objects, if any, would be transferred in a 
real run, not exactly how many bytes would be transferred.  Perhaps a 
--write-batch in a dry run could create the batch files, and you could 
just wc them.

I'm trying to figure out if a file has changed since the last rsync call. 
I 
use the following command line:

rsync -cvv /mnt/xxx/vol1/dbase/100/kunden.dbf /mnt/label | grep "^total: " 

| sed -e 's/.* data=//'

This gives a 0 if the file is unchanged and the file size if the file has 
changed. Adding the "dry-run" option "n" to the command line always gives 
a 
0. I wonder if this is a expected behaviour?
