Rsync in progress, strange results

Disclaimer, I've been a Linux admin for a while but don't frequently setup rsysnc jobs.

Here's the command I'm running on CentOS 5.5, rsync 2.6.8:

Code:

rsync -arvz --progress --compress-level=9 /src/ /dest/

/src has 1.5 TB of data, /dest/ is a new destination and started out empy. Oh ya, both /srv and /dest are cifs shares. I know that /src is off a Windows 2008 server and /dest I have no idea. The /src is a local file server connected via 1g ethernet and /dest is remote on the other end of a slow WAN link.

Here's the mount output:

Code:

//remotesf/dest on /dest type cifs (rw,mand)
//localfs/src on /src type cifs (rw,mand)

Here's the part that's got me scratching my head. This transfer has been running for a few hours and seems to be fine. I know it's gonna take a few days and I'm good with that. BUT, I'm watching transfer and as a file completes I'm doing a ls -lah so I can see the completed file but its not there... like all the directories are being created, the copies are taking time and doing their work but when I browse or ls the directory it's empty.

What's the deal?

Bonus question; without stopping the running job anyone got a good way to see how much has transferred? df -h /dest doesn't seem to produce any useful output.

MEMMOVE(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							MEMMOVE(3)

NAME

       memmove - copy memory area

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       void *memmove(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The  memmove()  function  copies  n  bytes  from memory area src to memory area dest.  The memory areas may overlap: copying takes place as

       temporary array to dest.

RETURN VALUE

       The memmove() function returns a pointer to dest.
