Interesting. I see now though that there's a corner case that could
still be slightly problematic:

For a zero-length file, we do a read and then this callback is
triggered with count == 0. We send that (empty) message to the agent.
But say the agent doesn't send back its SUCCESS status very quickly and
so the _data_flushed_cb() function intiates another async read. When
the async read callback is triggered again, we get another zero-length
read. Since the file size is zero, we pass the above conditions and
send out a second zero-length data message to the agent. That's the
same problem you're trying to fix above for non-zero-length files. It's
clearly not as important because it's not at all common to transfer
zero-length files, but it's probably still good to handle it.

Another semi-related issue: what do we do if a buggy agent never sends
a status response? Should we set a timer to cancel the transfer within
a certain time after we've sent our last data message if we haven't
received a response from the agent yet? Obviously that's not a issue to
be solved in this patch, but it's somethign that I was wondering while
reviewing the code.
