We took a look at the code and you are correct. The reason is that the
API command was mainly meant to check eligibility for a transfer.

The RWI functionality is meant to check (and possibly complete) a single
transfer at a time. Normally we complete the transfers in a cronjob that
runs during off-peak times.
