[I haven't looked at earlier messages in this thread, so I hope I
am not misinterpreting.]

(message "foo") prints to stderr in batch mode, which is an unbuffered
stream. E.g ``emacs --batch -l foo.el'' with foo.el containing

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(message "foo")
(sit-for 10)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

prints out ``foo'' and then sits for 10 seconds before exiting.

Also, don't you get messages for every file? The only publishing I've
done recently is worg publishing (I publish locally to test any changes
I make before pushing). That gives me a fairly detailed list of what it
is doing. AFAICT, that's the default behavior, but there may be settings
I've overlooked. I would recommend looking at the worg publishing
mechanism in general. See

particularly the sections entitled 

  - What .emacs.el file is used on the server?
  - I want it for my own server!
