New kcor machine/t1/t2 log script will create the logs at the end of the day as well as creating this summary report.  Here we see kcor created some .bin files that did not get meta data (fts) or processed and transferred to boulder.   And we also had an extra extra.fts file in the data dir that did not get transferred to boulder.
