The ok/not ok bit must be at the start of each line (also note that I
have 'not ok' instead of 'FAIL'):

ok 1 - linux-logtest.x86_64.rpm on 192.168.0.5
ok 2 - linux-logtest.x86_64.rpm to 192.168.0.5
not ok 3 - linux-logtest.x86_64.rpm not moved!
ok 4 - linux-logtest.x86_64.rpm on 192.168.0.5

Cheers,
