The reason why rsync, ftp, and the copy generator are run as report generators is so that the timing is synchronous. They are run in order: the next one does not run until the previous one finishes, thus guaranteeing that the reports are finished before rsync does its thing.
If this is not happening, then either the ordering under [StdReport] in weewx.conf is incorrect, or the belchertown skin is creating some asynchronous process, then returning.
