The rsync documentation says that logging goes to stdout:

        --log-format=FORMAT
               This allows you to specify exactly what the rsync client 
logs to
               stdout  on  a  per-file basis. The log format is 
specified using
               the  same  format  conventions  as  the  log  format  
option  in
               rsyncd.conf.

...so redirecting the output to the logfile as you've done is right.
