It appears that ci.DryRun = true affects the behavior of r.WriteObject on
chunker only, and no other remotes. This change puts a quick bandaid on it by
setting it later on in the test, but perhaps the underlying issue warrants a
closer look at some point... is chunker checking ci.DryRun itself in a way that
no other remote does? If so, should it? (Does this break encapsulation?)
