rsync - Feb 2007 - Verbose but only problem files

I have tried a couple of things to get what i want but am unsure how to
get there.

I would like in the log i use for rsync to only output files it has
trouble getting. e.g if permission is denied or file changed during read
something like that.

If i use the v option for verbose it lists every single file which is
too much as i want people to quickly scan over problem files and alert
if there is anything serious.

I also tried removing v for verbose and adding --stats and that just
gives me extra stat information and still the verbose.

Anyone any ideas?

Cheers

You could leave out the -v option, because rsync outputs an error
message for files it has trouble getting regardless of -v.

Note that rsync does not consider it an error for a file to change
while it is reading: it gives you the data it saw as it read through
from beginning to end.  Thus, it is possible to get a destination file
that is not identical to any instantaneous state of the source file.
Most of the time, this problem fixes itself because writing to the
source file will have changed its mtime and the next run of rsync will
consider the corrupted destination file out of date and retransfer the
complete new version of the file.
