Isn't the progress message (each time copy() is called):

     self.job.setComment("%02d%% complete - %d seconds remaining" %\
                             (dstfp.tell()*100/srcsize, remt))

Line 248. And then all the lines like:

             self.job.update(status=Job.STARTING)
             self.job.setStatus(Job.RUNNING)
             self.job.setStatus(Job.FINISHED)
             Job(int(args[0])).update({'status':Job.ERRORED,

Just learning here myself, haven't used the Job() module yet.
